Late game heartbreaks are becoming an annoying theme for the Dallas Stars this season. After outplaying the Tampa Bay Lightning for much of the game on Saturday afternoon, the team went into an inexplicable turtle down the stretch, and explicably gave up a last minute goal to throw away, at minimum, the loser point.
The last time Dallas faced Boston, the second game of a back-to-back following a bad loss to the Ottawa Senators, it ended as a 3-1 loss. Dallas played the Bruins straight up, the difference being a bad break deflection off of a Ryan Suter skate in the crease.
