The Dallas Stars scored three times in the first 9:03 and cruised to a 4-1 victory over the listless Florida Panthers.
Jason Robertson opened the scoring just a minute into the game, finishing off a pretty passing play involving Roope Hintz and Joe Pavelski after a Gustav Forsling turnover.
Joel L’Esperance added on 49 seconds later, elevating a cross from Justin Dowling over Sergei Bobrovsky on a 2-on-1 break after Eetu Luostarinen couldn’t reel in a pass from Keith Yandle in the neutral zone. Luostarinen was open, why Yandle put the pass in the air instead of on the ice, I don’t know.
