The Stars played their hearts on this night coming just short of possibly defeating the dreaded Detroit Red Wings. It might have been a different if Jimmy Howard was in goal, but Ty Conklin did well in the Red Wings' net. Richard Bachman did a fantastic job as well giving Kari Lehtonen the night off. It was definitely entertaining game that had a few bumps and bruises, and some skill. Bachman had 32 saves in regulation and overtime giving up two goals in regulation. Conklin had 27 saves himself before the shootout. Tomas Holmstrom had the first goal of the night 6:41 into the 1st period. Then finally the Stars get a Power Play goal!!! The goal was scored 10:59 into the 1st by Brenden Morrow and he was assisted by Goligoski and Robidas. Loui Erikson even gets one more goal towards the end of the first period to get the Stars the lead into the 1st period up 2 to 1. Jiri Hudler though would score early in the 2nd period to tie it up in the 2nd period. The game would end in a shootout where Jiri Hudler would strike again getting the only shootout goal giving the Red Wings a hard fought victory over the Dallas Stars. Though the Stars only pick up one point it was a point they fought hard for without a lot of their key players in the game. Especially against the Red Wings who are always an elite team in the NHL. The Stars next game will be Friday night at home when they play the Tampa Bay Lightning, which I hope the Stars can get out a victory out of the weak Lightning after almost defeating the Red Wings.
