Ducks’ comeback falls short in shootout loss to Stars
LA TimesDallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger defends against a shot while under pressure from Ducks right wing Frank Vatrano in the second period Monday in Dallas. Tyler Seguin scored Dallas’ second shootout goal, and the Stars beat the Ducks 3-2 on Monday night. “He’s our star player,” Silfverberg said, “and he showed that tonight.” The Stars went 0 for 5 with the man advantage, including coming up empty on a five-on-three opportunity in the closing minutes of the second period. “I think when you’re in a rebuild like this, it’s easy to get down and check out once you get behind,” Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said, “but our guys seem to keep battling not only for the team but for each other.“ Lundkvist scored on a backdoor pass through the low slot from Radek Faksa out of the left corner at 8:28 of the first period.
