For his team-leading 11th point of the year, Morgan Rielly captured the puck along the right wall of the Dallas zone and stepped past Stars' first-round pick, Radek Faksa. He dipped deep and around the back of the goal and, with four sets of Stars' eyes watching, found P.A. Parenteau, who stepped out for the pass.
?I like going down the wall like that, especially when I?m on my backhand, because it gives you a chance to make a play,? Rielly said afterward. ?That?s usually the time that I like to go. I like to attack the puck and then the winger, he curls up because he wants to try to block the shot and then I just take the lane down the boards. P.A. made a great play popping out like that. I was hoping he was going to do that the whole time he did. It worked out.?
?I have a rule that when the D?s below the goal line, you?re not allowed to pass it out front, so it?s a good thing he scored,? Babcock said before flashing a grin.
