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.

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.

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.
