Stars Run Through Flyers To Extend Point Streak

Don’t look now but the Dallas Stars are officially red hot.

On Thursday night, the Stars took down the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 to win their sixth game in a row.

“Our big guys are starting to score, Roope Hintz and Robertson and Johnston,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said.

“The power play didn’t get one tonight but has been starting to heat up lately. And then the other thing is, we’ve been in a lot of games late into the third period where it’s been tied or close, and we’ve just stuck with it. We’ve shown good maturity to our game and found a way to win a lot of games in those situations.”

Unlike Tuesday in New York, the Stars got on the board early in this one as Mavrik Bourque scored a much-needed goal on a backdoor cut for his first tally since December 6th.

“I’ve played some good games this year, but I knew I had to show I can play a good game back-to-back,” Bourque said. “I felt good and I’m just trying to turn things around here and going to build on the last two games.”

At 9:38 of the opening frame, Roope Hintz made it 2-0 as Dallas had scored two goals on its first three shots.

In the second period, the Stars would get the crucial next goal as Wyatt Johnston picked out a corner on a gorgeous shot to make it 3-1 Stars.

Philadelphia would get one back in the third but it proved to be too little with the Stars already in command.

Miro Heiskanen closed out the night with an empty net goal on a lob from his own zone. It was his first goal since November 20th.

Casey DeSmith had a phenomenal night making 27 saves on 28 shots to continue his run of hot play.

I have a good amount of confidence going right now, and the team is making it easy on me,” DeSmith said.

“We played great tonight I thought in every end of the ice. We really dictated play. We played our game and played offensively without selling the farm for offense, and we’re just doing a great job of finding that balance, night in, night out.”

Next up for the Stars, they will travel north of the border for their first of three games in Canada. Dallas will take on the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
