Jake Oettinger’s stellar play saves Stars from ‘slow start’ in win over Panthers

The Dallas Stars hadn’t lost three consecutive games and the Florida Panthers hadn’t won three consecutive games entering Sunday afternoon’s meeting at American Airlines. The Stars shook off a sluggish start to handle the Panthers 5-1. Although Dallas never trailed, the Panthers looked like the quicker team for much of the first period. Robertson’s goal gave the Dallas Stars a commanding 4-1 lead after losing their previous two games in Southern California. In fact, the Panthers were the aggressor early and were outshooting the Stars 25-23 after two periods.
