The Dallas Stars are off to their best start in franchise history, proving that a potent offense coupled with a defensive mindset is quite a combination.
Patrick Sharp and Valeri Nichushkin scored in the first period and Dallas had two empty-net goals in a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.
Kari Lehtonen stopped 10 of 11 shots in the first two periods and finished with 21 saves for Dallas.
The Western Conference-leading Stars are 12-3-0 with three straight wins and victories in six of their past seven.
It's their best 15-game start since the 1980-81 season, when the Minnesota North Stars began 10-2-3, according to STATS.
'We've got guys who can score, but the big key is we're buying into playing well at both ends of the ice,' Stars general manager Jim Nill said during the first intermission.
