Dallas Stars Remain Undefeated in Preseason Play
Third-Period Momentum Boost Leads to 5-2 Victory Over Minnesota Wild
Thanks to a third-period momentum boost, the Dallas Stars are still undefeated in preseason play. The team’s latest victory came on Thursday night at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where they defeated the Minnesota Wild 5-2. Wyatt Johnston found the back of the net twice, while Mavrik Bourque, Justin Hryckowian, and Vladislav Kolyachonok each contributed one goal for Dallas.
Early Trouble for the Stars
The Stars found themselves in some early trouble after surrendering two first-period goals. Marco Rossi opened the scoring with 1:04 left in the period. About 10 seconds later, Rossi scored again to amplify Minnesota’s advantage. This put the Stars in a difficult position, but they were able to bounce back and take control of the game.
Dallas Takes Control
Dallas took complete control from that point forward. Johnston scored his first goal of the night with 3:43 left in the second period, capitalizing on a well-placed pass from Bourque. Just 35 seconds after the second intermission, Johnston would score his second goal to tie things up. This momentum boost carried over into the third period, where the Stars were able to score three more unanswered goals.
Final Period Dominance
Hryckowian, Bourque, and Kolyachonok kept the momentum flowing in the final period by adding to the Stars’ lead. Four of Dallas’ five unanswered goals came in the game’s third period. This dominant performance in the final period secured the Stars’ victory and kept them undefeated in preseason play.
