Nothing like a Central Division rival to stir up some trouble, huh?
That’s what the Dallas Stars attempted to do on Thursday in Nashville, but a better defensive effort and magic from the likes of Filip Forsberg, Samuel Girard and Viktor Arvidsson proved to be too much in a 4-1 victory.
It didn’t start out great for the Preds, however. A delay of game penalty on Pekka Rinne for covering the puck too long behind his own net led to Jamie Benn’s power play goal, the lone tally in the first as the Stars led 1-0 after 20 minutes.
