Stars ride 7-game point streak into contest with Devils

The Dallas Stars’ winning streak is over, but they will take a seven-game point streak into their game Wednesday night against the New Jersey Devils in Newark, N.J.The four-game winning streak was snapped by a 3-2 overtime loss to the host New York Rangers on Tuesday night. Still, the Stars are 5-0-2 in their recent efforts.Dallas led 2-1 late in the third period but the Rangers tied it with 2:13 left with the goalie pulled for the 6-on-5 advantage.”I didn’t love our effort,” Stars’ coach Glen Gulutzan said. “I thought that we got a point because of our goalie and our penalty kill. Our penalty was real good. Our goalie was even better. I think that’s where we got our point from, otherwise I think we were outplayed.”Casey DeSmith made 38 saves for Dallas, which killed all five of New York’s power-play opportunities.”Not the way I would have liked that one to end,” DeSmith said. “It was too good of a game for it to end like that. So, I’m pretty bummed.”Mikko Rantanen and Kyle Capobianco scored for the Stars. It was Capobianco’s first goal since March 4, 2023.Dallas’ Tyler Seguin left with a lower-body injury just 1:44 into the game. Gulutzan said after the contest that Seguin was being evaluated and there would be no word about his availability for the game against the Devils until Wednesday.The Stars are 7-0-4 on the road since Oct. 26, and 9-1-4 away from home overall in 2025-26.Tuesday night was Dallas captain Jamie Benn’s 1,200th game. He has spent his entire career with the Stars.It was an emotional and physical game that featured 74 penalty minutes, 64 in the second period.
