Dallas had four straight wins before tonight's away game against the bottom team Ottawa. And that match started well too.

Already after 3.03, Klingberg threw a random shot from the blue line. The shot was steered via an Ottawa leg and set up goalie Craig Anderson.

But it wasn't much more fun for Ottawa. The team lost by 3-4 after an extension, and the team's fine victory suite was thereby broken. In addition, their fine suite with seven straight matches with power play goals ended. They also missed the opportunity to take a maximum of six points on their road trip in Dallas, following the victories against Toronto and Montreal earlier this week.

- It was a great road troop. But a bad ending, Tyler Seguin notes.

- I think no one is happy with this evening. There are different ways to win matches, but we let them shoot 20 shots in the first period and I think they were at type 40 when we went into the extension. And we don't want to allow that, especially against Ottawa, which is not a top team.

In Ottawa, players were naturally happier.

"I think we played stable from start to finish," goalkeeper Craig Anderson said.
