Zubov gives Dallas Stars a boost
The Sharks wisely stayed out of the penalty box for most of Game 2 at HP Pavilion. When Dallas finally went on the power play for the first time in the third period, it took the Stars all of 17 seconds to score and grab the lead.
The goal came off the stick of Mike Modano, but it was set up by an amazing backhand, cross-ice whiparound pass by Zubov, a move no other defenseman on the Stars’ roster would even think to attempt.
“That’s shinny [pickup] hockey at its finest,” coach Dave Tippett said. “But it’s part of Zubie’s game. The way we look at it, he’s had three months of rest, not three months of rust.”
