DALLAS — In Carter Hart’s first game back after a two-week layoff with a lower-body injury, the Flyers welcomed him by leaving him under siege.
The Stars scored three times on 16 shots in the second period to help them to a 4-1 victory over the Flyers on Thursday night at the American Airlines Center. Two of the Stars’ goals came on the power play.
Kevin Hayes, the career center playing right wing, ensured that the Flyers would not be shut out. He scored from a tricky angle just above the goal line with seven minutes remaining in the second period in response to the Stars’ four unanswered goals. Hayes’ tally snapped a 23-game goalless drought and brought his season total to 18.
