Shoot Em Up!

Bruin goalie Tim Thomas makes his first ever start between the pipes and played like an old pro, stopping 37 of 38. Marty Turco stopped 26 of 27.

Knotted up at one after regulation and OT, this one went to a shootout, where the Stars continue to thrive. Jussi Jokinen hits the shootout winner, now a perfect 5 for 5, and the Stars prevail 2-1. Sergei Zubov ties things up at 1 late in the 3rd period after a give and go from Mike Modano.

Stars now 5-0 in shootouts and reach the 30 win mark, their best start in franchise history after 44 games. Next up: Oh Canada! Montreal Monday night.
