Tickets.com Client Spotlight: Dallas Stars

Dallas Stars’ top line stays sharp
Star-Telegram.com

Steve Ott, Mike Ribeiro and Jere Lehtinen have been feeling pretty good together lately, and they were key in the Stars’ victory over Florida before the All-Star break.

They were at it again after the break.

Ott had a goal and an assist, and Lehtinen tallied the game-winner in the Stars’ 2-0 win over the Atlanta Thrashers at American Airlines Center on Tuesday. Marty Turco stopped 24 shots for his second shutout this season.

The Stars continue to stay strong at home, where they haven’t lost in regulation since Dec. 29 (3-1 against San Jose).

The Stars’ top-line wings scored early in the first and second periods, and generated plenty of opportunities against the Thrashers.

Both teams were well-rested, thanks to the All-Star break, but the Stars were definitely the sharper of the two. The Thrashers’ exception was Kari Lehtonen, whose goaltending work kept this game from being a lot worse.
