What a night for the Dallas Stars in the NHL!
The Texans win brilliantly 7-1 away from the Pittsburgh Penguins and can look forward to a landslide victory. The decision in the game was made in the first third, as the Stars quickly took a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Duchene (3rd), Stankoven (8th) and Marchment (11th).
The Penguins then swap goalie Blomqvist for backup Nedeljkovic, but he cannot prevent the next three goals within a few minutes from Heiskanen (14th/15th) and Seguin (19th/PP1).

The Stars are already 6-0 going into the first break. In the second section, the hosts came up with something like a cosmetic result and reduced the score to 1:6 from their point of view through Beauvillier (36th).
The final point was once again set by the guests, who made it 7-1 in the final third thanks to Johnston’s power play (56’/PP1).
With the win, Dallas is now in sixth place in the NHL’s Western Conference, while the Penguins are still only in 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
In the other games of the evening, the Hurricanes win at the Golden Knights 5:2, the Colorado Avalanche beat the Predators 3:2 after overtime, the duel between the Flames and the LA Kings ends 3:1 and the Flyers beat the Sharks 4: 3 down after shootout.
