Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild: 1st period recap

Oettinger would keep the game scoreless as he stopped a shot by Hartman. The Stars just can’t seem to get the puck out of their zone as Minnesota already has six shots on goal compared to Dallas’s zero. Pavelski would almost get Dallas on the board early but his shot went wide of the net.

Riely Tufte and Marcus Foligno would commit the first two penalties of the game and would send both teams on the 4 on 4. Jamie Benn almost scored on a 2 on 1 breakaway on the 4 on 4 but whiffed on the shot.

Nico Sturm would score the first goal of the game on a Stars turnover in their zone to make it 1-0 Wild. The Stars look so lost out on the ice as a team in the 1st period. Jake Oettinger has done his job but has had no help from his team.

The Stars are getting in the March Madness spirit as Joe Pavelski has the puck deflected off his shoulder to make it 1-1 going into the first intermission. Got a brand new hockey game starting in the second period. Let’s see if the Stars can make improvements and take control in the 2nd period.

The Stars are in complete control of this game after Jason Robertson scored his second goal of the game. That goal would force Cam Talbot to come into the game to stop the bleeding.

Things are getting chippy in front of Oettinger around the midpoint of the third period. Otter has shown that he also is deserving of a long extension to stay with Dallas as well. Minnesota would pull their goalie with 8:41 remaining in the game looking for a hail mary to get back in this one.

Krill Kaprizov would finally score with 3:41 to make it 4-2 Wild. Kaprizov would score again shortly after to make it 4-3 Wild. Jamie Benn would finally silence the crowd with an empty netter to make it 5-3 Stars Jason Robertson would finally get that 3rd goal to set a franchise record for back-to-back hat tricks.
