The Dallas Stars went into Los Angeles hoping to extend their winning streak to four for the second time this season, but Los Angeles was riding their own three game winning streak and wouldn’t be a pushover. The Stars started the game strong and built an early lead, but a few breakdowns in the second period and early in the third allowed the Kings back into the game. Once the Kings grabbed the lead, they didn’t let go and the Stars’ late push wasn’t enough to overcome their collapse in the middle frame
