At one point on Sunday the Dallas Stars had a 3-0 lead against the Nashville Predators and looked like they would pull within four points of a playoff spot and win back-to-back games.
Instead they let the lead slip away, got out skated by the Predators for the majority of the game, and proved they’re still a below-average hockey team in a 5-3 loss on Sunday evening.
In a game filled with oddities (58 penalty minutes, a penalty shot, three fights), the Stars once again looked like the team that struggles on the road and should embrace a seller’s mentality before the NHL trade deadline.
