Frank Nazar collected a cross-ice feed from Brett Seney and wired the puck home for his 3rd goal against the Stars this week.
With a little under 5:00 minutes to go in the period, Gerry Mayhew pushed the score to 2-0. The forward was led into the zone by Zach Sanford and elevated his shot up over the Stars' goaltender Rémi Poirier.
