Klingberg gave Dallas a 1-0 lead at 9:15 of the first period when his shot from the point went through a screen, hit the post and went into the net off the back of goalie Petr Mrazek's right skate.
"We were actually setting up another play, but the puck came right back in the middle," Klingberg said. "So I just kind of moved right on the blue line and tried to shoot past the blocker there. It bounced in somehow."
Seguin gave Dallas a 2-0 lead with 31 seconds remaining in the period. His power-play one-timer beat Mrazek over the blocker and went off the crossbar and into the net after a pass from Klingberg.

Mrazek made 29 saves for Detroit (2-1-0).

They said it

"We didn't have nearly enough O-zone time. Now they play defense a little bit different in the D-zone, so it makes it a little bit harder. But I didn't think we had enough guys at that ultra, ultra-competitive level. Our competitive level can't be fine, it's got to be outstanding and I also think we didn't have enough guys skating well enough, so we didn't have enough pressure on them." -- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill
"It's exciting, especially at home in front of the crowd, it's nice. Maybe like to have done it in the first one, but we'll take the two points. Big win for us, you never want to lose three in a row in this league," -- goalie Ben Bishop on his first win with the Stars
