Hidden by Oettinger’s bad night as that it was Tyler Seguin‘s 800th career NHL game. Here is the recap of Oettinger’s disappointing night at the AAC.

Well, the Stars wasted no time firing up the crowd as Esa Lindell would score within the first minute of the period to make it 1-0 Stars. Tyler Seguin would get a goal on a redirect in his milestone game 4 minutes later to make the Stars lead 2-0.

Now for the bad part of the 1st period, this was the start of Oettinger’s bad night. Greg McKegg would start things off for the Rangers to cut the lead in half 2-1. Zibbanejad would score three minutes later on the power play to tie it at 2.

Two minutes later is where the Rangers took the lead on an Adam Fox goal to make it 3-2 Rangers. Artremi Panarin would score less than a minute later to make it 4-2 Rangers going into the 1st Intermission. The Stars would be outshot 14-11 in the 1st period but lead in faceoff won 10-6.

Stars would have to get it in gear in the 2nd if they want a shot to get getting back in this game and take two points at home before hitting the road for a 4 game road trip starting in Toronto.

Not much scoring really happened in the period as Jason Robertson would score on the power play with 12:50 remaining to close the gap on the Rangers lead 4-3. It’s what the Dallas Stars needed to get some momentum going in their favor.

Patrik Nemeth would have his goal reviewed to see if it crossed the red line. After further review it did and the Rangers pushed their lead back up to 2. Rangers would go into the second intermission up 5-3. The Stars need to get some offense going in the third if they want to win the game.
