Stars hope to carry momentum against Islanders (Yahoo Sports)

After defeating the reigning Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday night at American Airlines Center in rather improbable fashion, the Dallas Stars look to carry those good vibes forward in a home game against the New York Islanders Thursday. Dallas (25-28-10) has been good at home for much of the season, going 18-10-6 in its building, but Tuesday's 3-2 victory was impressive considering the Penguins led 2-0 after two periods only to see Dallas score three unanswered goals to prevail. It was Pittsburgh's first loss of the season when leading after 40 minutes, while the Stars won for only the second time when trailing after two periods.
