An injured Stars team that looked descent for an injured team couldn't score in St. Louis. It is never good whenever your All-Star Forward Jamie Benn is injured, there are too many to even list in this article that is how bad it has gotten. There were two positive things that I took out of this loss against the St. Louis Blues game, the first thing is that the Stars never seemed to give up in this one, and played hard through all three periods. The other was a healthy Kari Lehtonen is a scary Lehtonen. Kari had 32 saves in this game and look incredible. There were also two negatives that I took out of this loss, the first being the offense needs to step it up. The Stars managed to only get 22 shots on the Blues goaltender Jaroslav Halak who got a shut out on this game. The second thing I learned that wasn't positive was that the Stars' Power Play team is just awful! They are currently ranked 27th (maybe lower), and if you want to win you have to get power play goals. The beaten up Stars will play the Detroit Red Wings tonight at home at the American Airlines Center where Right Winger Tomas Vincour will return from the injured reserved list. This transaction will send Left Winger Francis Wathier back down to the Texas Stars.
