Stars end Wings’ win streak
DALLAS — The Dallas Stars made up for that debacle in Detroit.
Only four days after a pathetic performance against the defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings, shot-happy Dallas overcame an early deficit and took its only lead when Trevor Daley scored on his own rebound 1:51 into overtime for a 5-4 victory Monday night.
“When you’re pushing people and prodding and thinking you can be better, games like this prove it,” coach Dave Tippett said.
In a flurry of activity in front of Detroit goalie Chris Osgood, Daley took a shot that got knocked down but was still on the ice when he followed up for his fourth goal of the season — and Dallas’ only lead — to end Detroit’s six-game winning streak.
“It hits me, the guys crashed the net and jammed away and it ends up behind me,” Osgood said.
That was the Stars’ 49th shot, their most in a regular season game since February 1997. The five goals were the most Dallas scored against Detroit since a month before that.
