Dallas finally got a win on Wednesday night that did not require them to come from behind in the last remaining moments of the third period. Possibly even more important than that was the fact that they played a really good team really hard. One of the top teams in the league, as well as one of the most surprising, the Nashville Predators came to town Wednesday night and faced a Dallas squad that knew another game in OT would not bode well for the nerves of the fans. Personally, I may have developed a grey hair or two from those four straight OT games. The Stars had to withstand a late rush by the Preds in the last moments of the game to hold their one goal lead. However, Nashville could not capitalize on a 6 on 4 situation late in the game which insured Dallas' winning streak.
The Stars next game is on Saturday Feb. 4, when the stars travel to St. Louis to play the blues. A team which they have not lost to in the 5 games the teams have played so far.
