He has 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) on a six-game streak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe generated a lot of chances to win,\u201d Rantanen said. \u201cBut have to be on a consistent level. We\u2019ve got to do it every night and try to limit the mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we had enough chances to win the game. Their goalie played well. We could\u2019ve capitalized on some chances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bertuzzi tied it 3-3 at 12:25, finishing near the net after a point shot from Vlasic deflected off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/connor-murphy-8484121\" title=\"Connor Murphy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connor Murphy<\/a> in the slot and rolled to him at the top of the crease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, 17 of my 18 goals are right in the crease,\u201d Bertuzzi said. \u201cSo, I\u2019ll keep going there and, hopefully, keep getting rewarded for going to the paint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soderblom made saves on a pair of Stars breakaways in the third. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jamie-benn-8473994\" title=\"Jamie Benn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jamie Benn<\/a> was denied by a left pad save at 11:26 and Rantanen had a snap shot turned away at 14:35.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA fun game to play,\u201d Soderblom said. \u201cThey\u2019re a great team. A lot of good players on that team. I think we competed and we battled and we played right with them for the full 65 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt great. I\u2019ve been working on breakaways and 1-on-1 situations. So, to play those like I did today in the game felt really good to have that confidence and kind of not back up too much, stay out there and challenge the shooter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTES:<\/strong> Bertuzzi ended his six-game point drought since scoring in consecutive games on Dec. 7 and 10. &#8230; Lardis&#8217; shootout goal was the first of his career in his sixth NHL game. &#8230; Stars defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/ilya-lyubushkin-8480950\" title=\"Ilya Lyubushkin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ilya Lyubushkin<\/a> did not play because of an illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rantanen gave Dallas a 3-2 lead at 11:18 of the third period when he slid a rebound past&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":476647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-476646","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-texas","11":"tag-tx","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-united-states-of-america","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115796088176543658","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
