Jussi Jokinen would give the Stars a lead they would not relinquish early in the second when Mike Modano stole the puck from Keith Ballard and the Finn found the back of the net. Brendan Morrow and Jason Arnott each scored to make for a three goal second and a 4-1 victory.
This loss was just UGLY. 6-3 the final in favor of the Lightning. Arnott and Svoboda had the other Dallas goals in defeat.The first three game losing streak of 05-06 for the Stars.
Five unanswered goals by the Thrashers in the final 25 minutes doomed Dallas. The Stars got comfy and the Thrashers took full advantage. J P Vigier, Marian Hossa (twice), Vyacheslav Kozlov, and Eroc Boulton provided Thrash Flash. The boo-birds were out in full force after this game.
To ask of that each time you play is insane and not reasonable. Bill Guerin and Antti Miettenen provided Dallas' points in a 4-2 defeat. Curiously, Jose Theodore stops 37 of 38 shots and doesn't get one of the three stars of the game.
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.
