About the Stars
The Stars (4-6-3) lost their third straight game, falling 8-2 at Winnipeg Tuesday. The Stars trailed 2-0 after one period and were down 6-1 after two.
"Pretty much embarrassing from start to finish. We came in here and played a terrible game, and that's what you get," said Stars captain Jamie Benn. "It's pretty much rock bottom, I think. I don't think you can get any worse than that."
