Islanders see how far they have to go with key deficiency exposed in eye-opening loss to Stars

The Dallas Stars brought an abrupt end to the New York Islanders' five-game points run with a dominant 6-3 victory. Speed deficiencies plagued the visitors throughout the contest, as the home side consistently won races to loose pucks and exploited defensive gaps.

Despite the Islanders managing to level the score at 3-3 by the end of the second period following an effort from Brayden Schenn, Dallas pulled away in the final frame behind goals from Wyatt Johnston, Jason Robertson, and Mikko Rantanen.
