Just when it looked like the Carolina Hurricanes would be unsuccessful at continuing their clean streak against Dallas, they turned it around in the 3rd period and walked away with yet another 2 points courtesy of the Stars.
Last night’s game has to be frustrating from the Stars’ perspective; they played a great hockey game, aside from a few missteps here and there.
Dallas have lost 7 of their last 8 games despite being a very solid, competitive team undeterred by the glaring holes left by Tyler Seguin, Ben Bishop, and Alexander Radulov.

Here’s what I took away from it on the whole.
