DALLAS — As Luke Glendening streaked up the ice in concert with Michael Raffl, you could hear the refrain echo from the past few years of Rick Bowness’ tenure as the Stars’ head coach: “We create offense from defense.”
Glendening dove to disrupt Roman Josi’s offensive bid in the Dallas zone, and transformed his belly sprawl into the game-winning goal during the Stars’ 4-3 win over the Predators on Wednesday night. Glendening laid out to squib the puck to neutral ice, then joined Raffl on the rush before finishing past Juuse Saros.
The goal gave the Stars a win in the first game after the All-Star break, and capped a contentious night at the American Airlines Center.
