The Dallas Stars score four unanswered goals to build a big lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning, then hang on for a 5-3 win, sending Tampa Bay to a second consecutive loss.
The Dallas Stars beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3 at Amalie Arena in Tampa Thursday night.
A run of four unanswered goals from the Stars in the first and second periods, special teams lapses by Tampa Bay and some very good goaltending from Kari Lehtonen of Dallas put the Lightning in a hole they couldn't climb out of.
The Lightning opened the scoring at 2:24 of the first on a goal from Steven Stamkos, assisted by Jonathan Drouin.
