Thoughts and Highlights

• The moms joined the Red Wings players for the first game of 2020.
• Filip Zadina only had 10:36 of ice time at 5 on 5, but he made the most of it, with a 75% Corsi for, which tied for the lead with Valtteri Filppula.
• Special teams doomed the Red Wings, as they allowed two shorthanded goals and a power-play goal.
• Early in the first period, Dylan Larkin scored his 10th goal of the season, taking a nice feed by Robby Fabbri and beating Anton Khudobin.

• About midway through the first period, while the Red Wings are on a four-minute power play, some sloppy passing led to a 2-on-0 for the Stars, and Roope Hintz beat Jonathan Bernier to tie the game at 1-1.
• Early in the second period, Radek Faksa gave the Stars a 2-1 lead on the power play off a deflected point shot.
• Later in the second period, the Stars extended their lead, as Joe Pavelski forced a turnover at center ice and beat Bernier on a nice wrister.
• Pavelski appeared to score his second of the game early in the third period, but video replay determined there was goalie interference.
• The Red Wings pulled their goalie with about three minutes left and on a power play for the 6-on-4 opportunity, but Dallas scored on the empty net to extend the lead to 4-1.
