So this game against the Chicago Blackhawks was not viewable to the majority of Stars fans for one reason: College football. There's some issue where FSN moves certain Stars games to FSN Plus I think it's called because of scheduling conflict. That's all fine and dandy except for most providers don't carry the channel. For that reason, this will be based off what I've read online and the box score. That will make for a lousy scoring recap, but I can tell you one thing for sure. Alex Auld played great. He has two wins out of two starts. Keep in mind these aren't wins against Toronto and Minnesota, these are victories over Calgary and Chicago, two upper echelon teams, both predicted to be heavy contenders for the cup. The season is young, but I like what I see from Auld.

First Period
No scoring
Second Period (3-2)
Brendan Morrow and Mike Ribeiro open the game with tallies. Troy Brouwer got one back for Chicago, then Toby Peterson found the net for Dallas, and Johnathan Toews closed the frame, trying to spark a Blackhawk comeback.
Third Period (4-3)
Now I did see a highlight of Stephane Robidas goal (which turned out to be the game winner) and boy was it one of those "How the..." moments. Simple dump into the corner, bounced out, I'm guessing hit a rut in the ice, and sneaked by into the net. Niklas Hjalmarsson pulled it within one, but they could do no more.

-Stars killed off all penalties, bringing them to 27 in the league at 68 percent.
-Fell to 19 on power play, 19.4 percent.
-Brad Richards will miss the next game due to a groin injury.
-Keep Auld in, please.

Up Next:
Monday night the Kings come to town. They've put on a surprising start, but no one really thinks they can last the whole season. Decent goaltending from Quick and some young talent could make for an upstet. However, not tonight. Make it four losses in a row for LA. Kings 1 Stars 3
