Dallas — Critical mistakes on special teams were costly to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night, and they began the second half of their season with a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.
Dylan Larkin opened the scoring but the Wings couldn’t generate another goal all evening, unable to build upon Tuesday’s rare victory.
Roope Hintz (short-handed), Radek Faksa (power play), Joe Pavelski and Andrej Sekera (short-handed) scored Stars goals as Dallas won the special teams battle with three such goals, and capitalized on Wings turnovers.
