The Dallas Stars had a valiant pushback against the energetic and hungry Anaheim Ducks after a listless start to the game Monday night, but it was not enough to overcome the 1st period deficit, and they end the American Airline Center winning streak at seven games.
First Period
The Ducks came out hungry in the first period and dictated the game from the start. They out worked, out hustled, and out competed the Stars in every zone.
Less than a minute into the game, Ryan Strome wins an offensive faceoff back to Owen Zellweger who immediately fires it on net from about 60 feet out to score blocker side against Casey DeSmith.
