The Swede became the third player in NHL history to score a hat trick in his first game, joining Alex Smart of the Montreal Canadiens (Jan. 14, 1943) and Real Cloutier of the Quebec Nordiques (Oct. 10, 1979).

Brunnstrom scored from the slot for his first career goal at 11:45 of the second period for a 3-2 lead.

Brunnstrom gave Dallas a 4-3 advantage at 14:13 of the second period after Ryan Jones' first career goal 23 seconds earlier had drawn the Predators even.

Brunnstrom broke a 4-4 tie with 3:25 left when he struck from close range off a feed from Brad Richards.

The Stars outbid several NHL teams in May to sign the skilled Swedish left wing, but Brunnstrom was a healthy scratch in Dallas' first two games.

Yeah I was listening to the game. It was pretty exciting...except the Stars are playing like sh!t, so they better hope this kid continues.

If the Blues can beat them 6-2, we should be able to win 2-1.

All three goals were because he was in the right place at the right time, none of them were particularly spectacular.

But thats what you have to do, get in the right place.

Vrana has that abillity, just a shame the Devils cant pass the puck!!
