Dallas Stars vs Pittsburgh Penguins: 1st period recap

Well what I was afraid of happening did happen, the red hot Penguins came out on all cylinders and were able to score twice. Brian Dumoulin scored first for the Penguins followed by a goal Kasperi Kapanen on a redirect in front of the net. Bowness needs to get the guys back on track or else this will be a long game against the Penguins.

At the end of the 1st period, the Stars trail the Penguins 2-0 and trail them on shots on goal 10-7. The Penguins must have saw the pre game article I wrote because they came out and did exactly what I wanted the Stars to do. Hopefully, Oettinger gets some more help from his teammates in the second period.

Alexander Radulov got the fans energized midway through the 2nd period by getting into a fight with a Penguins player.
