Anaheim Ducks vs. Dallas Stars FREE NHL LIVE Streaming Online Monday Night from American Airlines Center at 9:30 PM ET
Lindy Ruff figures anyone who has watched the Stars in their first two playoff games should know they won't quit.
Even in a big hole against top-seeded Anaheim before their first home playoff game in six years.
"It doesn't feel like an 0-2 series. We definitely haven't been dominated," said Ruff, the veteran coach in his first season on the Dallas bench. "In fact, the last game we dominated, we just didn't win. So we've got to clean up some of our mistakes and take advantage of some of those key opportunities."
After a pair of one-goal losses in Anaheim, the Stars are home for Game 3 Monday night for their first postseason game at the American Airlines Center since May 19, 2008 -- a span of 2,162 days. That was a 4-1 loss to Detroit in the clinching Game 6 of the Western Conference finals, two weeks after the Stars wrapped up their previous series with a Game 6 win at home, 2-1 in four overtimes against San Jose.
The Stars outshot Anaheim 36-19 in the 3-2 loss in Game 2, when Dallas had a 15-2 edge in a third-period flurry. But Ducks rookie goalie Frederik Anderson finished with 34 saves in his second postseason start.
Ten Dallas players have made their postseason debuts in this series, which started with Anaheim jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the opener before holding on for a 4-3 victory.
"The second half of the first game was more of the way we wanted to play and then I thought we played pretty good in the second game," Stars captain Jamie Benn told the team's website. "We just made a couple too many mistakes and they capitalized on it."
