Both the Mavericks and Stars played on this night, but only one of them came out to actually play. The injuries for the Mavericks could be one of the reasons why they played so poorly against the healthy young Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavericks came into this matchup without Jason Kidd from the calf injury, Lamar Odom fighting a stomach bug, and Brenden Haywood with lower back tightness. The final score in this game was the Thunder coming out on top 95-86.
The Stars first game back after the all star game was good, and a pretty healthy squad helped the Stars get a victory over the Anaheim Ducks. It was quite nice to see both Jamie Benn and Brenden Morrow off of injury reserve and helping the Stars win. Jamie Benn came in right where he left off scoring his first goal since the all star break 17:50 into the 1st period. The Stars would go on to run away with this game 6-2. Lehtonen had 33 saves on 35 shot attempts. A great game for the Stars, but it will be interesting to see if they can win tonight against the San Jose Sharks, because they have been struggling on the 2nd of back to back games. They play tonight at 9:30.
