Stars West Coast Woes Lose to Ducks 5-2

Games like these make me excited about the realignment coming next season in NHL. The Stars seem to struggle a lot whenever going into the west coast, and it was evident in this game. I was still proud of the fact that it seems there is no quit in this Stars team. In the first 2 periods the shot attempts were there, but they just couldn't make it in the goal. The Stars came into the 3rd period down 2 goals to nothing and decided to try and come back into the game. Only 1:39 into the 3rd period did Steve Ott get the Stars their first goal of the evening. Alex Goligoski tied it up at 2:43 to make the score 2 to 2. After tying it up it seemed that the Stars somehow lost all the momentum they had got when they tied the game up. The Stars just went flat giving the Ducks' center Saku Koivu a hat trick. Though the Ducks are way back in the Pacific Divison Standings, I would not be surprised if they made a comeback. The Stars will play the Kings next in a late one on Saturday with the puck drop scheduled for 9:30 (central time) at the Staples Center.
