Logan Stankoven, the Dallas Stars rookie, celebrated his 21st birthday by scoring his first career NHL goal, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. Stankoven's performance over the past week has been noteworthy, scoring three goals in his first four NHL games, including goals in three consecutive games. His rapid scoring has contributed to the Dallas Stars' strong start to the season, with the team scoring five goals in the opening minute of games this season, the second most among all teams. Notably, Stankoven scored just 60 seconds into Tuesday's contest. His achievements have not only highlighted his potential but have also underscored the opportunities for young players in the NHL. His third goal came during a game where the Dallas Stars led the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 after the first period, with Stankoven's goal contributing to the early lead. Despite the Jets scoring in the second period, the Stars maintained a 3-1 lead, showcasing their defensive resilience alongside their offensive prowess. The shots on goal (SOG) were 12-10 for Winnipeg after the first period and 20-20 by the second.
