DALLAS — When the air left the American Airlines Center, the Dallas Stars fell flat.
On the night when the franchise retired Sergei Zubov’s number, the Stars lost 5-0 to the Washington Capitals, snapping a four-game win streak and sullying a night that celebrated the best defenseman in franchise history.
“The score tells you,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said. “We had nothing going tonight, nothing. We played a very experienced, hungry hockey club that had lost two in a row. They came in and took control of the game and didn’t let up. We just had nothing going tonight.”
