Dallas Stars Daily Links: World Championship Roundup

Posted on by Tyler Mair

The Dallas Stars’ hockey season might be over, but some of the players are still hitting the ice overseas at the World Championship.

For instance, Radek Faksa had a career-high three points for the Czech Republic in yesterday’s win over Austria:

Faksa’s goal 6:30 into the first period gave the Czechs a 1-0 lead and held up as the game-winner… Faksa also assisted on a power-play goal that extended the Czech lead to 4-0 in the second period and then picked up an assist an even-strength goal pushed the lead to 8-0 in the third.

Meanwhile John Klingberg is getting back into the swing of things, scoring his first assist of the tournament in his second game:

Klingberg, who skated on the second defense pair with Nashville’s Mattias Ekholm, had the one assist, one shot on goal and a minus-1 rating in 22:50 of ice time. Klingberg has one assist and a plus-1 rating in two games at the tournament, while averaging 19:47 of ice time.

Mark Stepneski is keeping everyone up-to-date on Faksa and Klingberg here.
