Stars: Rantanen wore No. 96 after being traded to the Stars by Carolina at Friday’s trade deadline and then signing an eight-year deal worth $96 million. He picked up an assist on the Stars’ opening goal by Johnston and then scored his 28th on a third-period power play.
The Dallas Stars’ latest road trip got off to a rocky start. Despite a late comeback attempt, Dallas fell 5-4 against the Edmonton Oilers. The Stars will have a quick opportunity to bounce back.
All things considered, the trade deadline Stan Bowman and company delivered for the Oilers looks good at first blush.
