The Dallas Stars made history by scoring six goals in the first period of their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, a first for the franchise since relocating to Dallas. Matt Duchene ignited the scoring spree just under three minutes into the game.
This remarkable achievement ties the franchise record for goals in a single period, previously set during their time as the Minnesota North Stars. Miro Heiskanen notably scored twice, marking his season debut in the scoring column.
