On Sunday evening in Dallas, the Red Wings were looking for a bounce-back after a humbling defeat the night prior in Tampa Bay. Instead, Detroit found itself staring down the barrel of a 3–0 deficit after the first period on the way to a 4–1 loss at the hands of the host Stars.

The Red Wings are 8-4-0 since McLellan took over. The power play, despite going 1 for 9 over the weekend, has been potent, converting at nearly 42 percent during this stretch (18 for 43). The penalty killing continues to struggle (16 for 25, 64 percent).

In his first start since Jan. 7, but his second game in two days, goalie Alex Lyon gave up 3 first-period goals in the Detroit Red Wings' 4-1 loss.

The Detroit Red Wings used a seven-game winning streak to climb back into the playoff race. But they won’t be able to stay in the chase if they can’t avoid the bad stretches like the one they are in now.

The Red Wings’ struggles in the Lone Star State continued Sunday with a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center. The Red Wings (21-21-4) have dropped back-to-back games for the first time since Todd McLellan took over as coach on Dec. 26, scoring just one goal in each game.

Jason Robertson had one of three first-period goals plus a third-period assist and Jake Oettinger made 33 saves as the Dallas Stars beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 on Sunday night.

After falling to the Colorado Avalanche, the Dallas Stars (28-16-1, in the Central Division) return to American Airlines Center to close out a busy weekend. Dallas looks to snap a two-game skid against the Red Wings (21-20-4, in the Atlantic Division). Here’s everything you need to know about the matchup on Sunday evening:
