Game of the Night 11/12

Just twenty-four hours after a hard fought game between two division rivals, the Dallas Stars are right back at it again with another game in Southern California, this time against the high-flying Anaheim Ducks. The Stars fell to the Kings 3-1 in a hard fought, physical battle. The Ducks had yesterday off after beating the Islanders 1-0 on Wednesday.

The Stars (8-6-0) currently sit in tenth in the Western Conference but stand to move up dramatically, circumstances permitting, with a win tonight. Led on offense by Brad Richards with 6 g and 18 pts and Loui Eriksson 7 g 16 pts, the Stars average 3.00 GF/G, good for 11th in the league. Their defense ranks 15th in the league, allowing 2.86 GA/G. Kari Lehtonen should be getting the start in net for Dallas tonight, he is 7-5-0 with a .906 and a 2.87.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Kyle Palmieri of the Anaheim Ducks for scoring his first NHL goal last night in their game against the Lightning. Kyle is a product of the Atlantic District where he played for the New Jersey Devils Youth growing up. Nice work Kyle, good luck with the rest of your career.
