Facing off against the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Dallas Stars looked invisible for most of the game, and not just because of the new “whiteout” reverse retro jerseys they debuted. But against all odds, the Stars overcame a two-goal deficit with just minutes remaining in the game, stealing a point in an eventual shootout loss.
The team were heavily outshot by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first period, and we’re bailed out repeatedly by rookie netminder Jake Oettinger, save for a single goal by Brayden Point. Miro Heiskanen broke a 209:05 shutout streak by Andrei Vasilveskiy against the Stars in the second, but Mathieu Joseph reclaimed the lead later that period.
