The Dallas Stars looked kind of sluggish on the ice to start the 1st period. That’s kind of understandable on a back to back game situation. Esa Lindell got his second goal of the season 13 minutes into the period to give the Stars the lead 1-0.

Unfortunately. that lead wouldn’t last as long as the Stars would have liked. The Stars would go to the penalty box at the end of the first period. Brayden Point would score his 15th goal of the season on the power play with 13 seconds left in the period to tie it at 1. The Stars were about even with the lightning in most categories except hits.

The Stars were outshot 9-1 in the 2nd period, if the Stars wanted to win this game, they would have to come out swinging in the 3rd period.
