The Stars allowed the opposition to score first for the eighth straight game. That's a concern. Still, they have gone 4-3-1 in those games, so they certainly know how to manage their bad stretches.
"They were doing some really good stuff and we had to simplify a little bit," said defenseman John Klingberg, who had a goal and five shots on goal. "But we made some changes and came back in the game. They were coming after us, that's a really good team over there, they're heavy to play against, and to get one point is a pretty good outcome."
Asked how the Stars are overcoming slow starts to get back into games, Klingberg said it's a lot of things.
"It obviously starts with our goalies, they're making some huge stops and saving us from being down a lot of goals," he said. "But I also feel that if they are really coming after us that we can control their momentum shifts. When we feel like they're coming, we're keeping them to the outside and when they get the middle, our goalies are always stepping up. I just feel like we're keeping to our game plan."
