Dallas scored before the first minute was over, but spent the final two periods chasing an equalizer in a 2-1 loss to Nashville at Bridgestone Arena on Oct. 3, 2026.
Miro Heiskanen put the Stars ahead after just 47 seconds. Nashville answered twice on the power play: Steven Stamkos tied it, then Nils Hoglander supplied the go-ahead goal before the first intermission.
The scoring stopped there. Juuse Saros finished with 29 saves, turning away every Dallas attempt after Heiskanen’s goal.
Dallas outshot Nashville 12-6 in the third period and 30-26 overall, but the extra pressure didn’t change the score. Casey DeSmith made 24 saves for the Stars.

Faletau Satuala’s interception return moved BYU from its 25 to the TCU 16, turning one lost possession into a touchdown opportunity and exposing how badly timed ball security outweighed the Horned Frogs’ yardage edge.
The Stars won 36 of 58 faceoffs and outshot St. Louis in the second period, but a scoreless attack made those advantages largely cosmetic in a 4-0 loss.
