Stars align as Dallas dumps Boston
Print Edition
Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley made the Boston Bruins pay for trading them.
The Dallas forwards scored in a shootout in their first game in Boston since the Stanley Cup finals to lift the Stars to a 3-2 win over the slumping Bruins on Tuesday night.
“I have to say it’s a special game,” Seguin said. “I knew where this was on the calendar. I knew my first time in Boston.”
Bruins coach Claude Julien brushed off a question about whether the loss hurt more because Seguin and Peverley played such big roles.
“I don’t care about that. Give it a break,” he said. “I’m mad because we lost.”
Seguin scored on Dallas’ second shot, tying the shootout 1-1 after Patrice Bergeron scored for Boston.
Then Peverley put the puck through Tuukka Rask’s pads on the Stars’ fourth and final shot.
“I think I was more nervous for this game than I was for any of the Stanley Cup finals,” Peverley said. “It was emotional for me, but it was fun to be here.”
The Bruins lost those finals in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks. Now they have lost four of five games after winning four in a row.
“The first 10 minutes were good and then we got back to some of our old habits,” Julien said. “Eventually, when you play that way, you find ways to lose hockey games, and that’s what we’re doing right now.”
Vernon Fiddler tied the game for Dallas on a penalty shot with 2:34 left in the third period after he was tripped from behind by Dennis Seidenberg. It erased a lead Boston took with 8:21 remaining when Milan Lucic tipped in Dougie Hamilton’s shot from the blue line.
In other games, it was: Sabres 5, Sharks 4 (SO); Coyotes 3, Canucks 2 (SO); Blues 3, Canadiens 2 (SO); Wild 5, Flames 1; Hurricanes 2, Flyers 1 (OT); Capitals 6, Islanders 2; Senators 4, Blue Jackets 1; and Oilers 4, Panthers 3 (OT).
