Detroit Red Wings (6-1-2) v Dallas Stars (3-6-0) @ American Airlines Center
It was the Red Wings who suffered their third shootout loss of the season, after a 1-1 draw forced the two sides into overtime before, Zetterberg and Datsyuk both missed their shots, after Nyquist scored his penalty, as they went down 2-1 in the shootout. It seemed like the Wings' powerplay woes were coming to an end, as they scored their second PPG in two matches, as Franzen slotted the slapshot home, off the Datsyuk and Zetterberg assist 2 minutes into the match to put the visitors on the back foot. Dallas struck at the end of the half, as Wandell's long range wrist shot went flying past Howard, who in the form that he's been in, should have been stopping those. The Wings were unable to capitalise on numerous powerplays throughout the second and third period though, going 1/7 in the end, as the game ended in a 1-1 draw, before overtime could not separate the sides. Nyquist, who was given his first chance in a shootout, stepped up first and a good piece of work from him got him around Lehtonen, while Eriksson missed his penalty for the Stars. Zetterberg and Datsyuk failed to score their penalties though as Goligoski and Robidas stole the game from the Wings to come out on top in a very close game, and record a much needed victory for the Stars, to now go 4 from 10, while the Wings suffered their third overtime loss.
