Dallas Stars v. Detroit Red Wings – 7p EST Start Time

Heading to Detroit the Dallas Stars look for their first victory of their very young 2019-20 season, and a quick jump on the Red Wings would help them early on as they would get first period goals from Roope Hintz and Tyler Seguin to give the Stars a 2-0 lead going into the first intermission. In the second period it would become the Anthony Mantha show as he would score two goals to tie the game for the Red Wings. Mantha’s first goal would be on the powerplay and 48 seconds into the period. Then Mantha would score again nine minutes later to tie the game. In the third period Mantha would score 15 seconds into the period to complete the natural hat trick, but Roope Hintz would score his second of the game 33 seconds late tie the game back up at three. However, it would be Anthony Mantha once again as he would record his fourth goal of the game to lead the Red Wings to a 4-3 victory over the Stars.
