DALLAS STARS TRIVIA II

11) In which round of the NHL draft did the Stars select Jamie Benn?


In the 5th round 2007 NHL Entry Draft, the Stars drafted the relatively unknown Jamie Benn 129th overall. He would go on to become team captain in 2013-14, and the following year was awarded the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer with 87 points.

12) Which player has the highest single-season shooting percentage in franchise history?


In 2007-08, Mike Ribeiro earned his first NHL All-Star Game appearance, with career highs in goals (27), assists (56), points (83), and shooting percentage (25.2%).

13) Who was the first rookie in franchise history to win the Calder Memorial Trophy?


Danny Grant made the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens in 1967-68, playing 22 regular season games and 10 playoff games on his way to a Stanley Cup championship with Montreal. He was then acquired by the Minnesota North Stars, and in his 1968-69 "rookie" season won the NHL's Calder Memorial Trophy, thus becoming one of only four players who won the Stanley Cup the season before winning the Calder Trophy.

14) Which Dallas Star won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1999?


Joe Nieuwendyk finished the 1998-99 season with 28 goals and 55 points in 67 games, then added 11 goals and 10 assists in the 1999 Stanley Cup playoffs to help the Stars win their first Stanley Cup. Six of his playoff goals were game winners, and he was voted the winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the playoffs.

15) Which Stars player made 10 of 13 shot attempts in shootouts during the 2005-06 season?


One reason for the Stars success in 2005-06 was their strong play in shootouts, as forward Jussi Jokinen was nearly automatic, making 10-of-13 shot attempts. Also performing well in shootouts was Sergei Zubov, who used a slow-but-steady backhand to go 7-for-12, as the Stars ultimately won 12 of 13 games that were settled by a shootout.

16) How many saves did Mighty Ducks goaltender Steve Shields have against the Stars on November 11, 2001?


Thanks to Shields' 42 saves, the game ended in a 2-2 tie, despite the Ducks being outshot 44-22.

17) Which player holds the NHL record for goals scored by a draft-eligible player who was not drafted by an NHL team?


Hall-of-Famer Dino Ciccarelli played 19 seasons in the National Hockey League, primarily with the Minnesota North Stars. He scored 1,200 points and 608 goals in his NHL career, the most goals by a draft-eligible player who was not drafted by an NHL team.

18) Which Dallas Star is the tallest goaltender in NHL history?


Nicknamed "Big Ben", Bishop is the tallest goaltender to ever play in the NHL, along with Mikko Koskinen, at a height of 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m).

19) Which player holds the franchise single-season record for assists?


Neal Broten's highest point total came during the North Stars 1985-86 season when he compiled 29 goals and a franchise-record 76 assists for 105 points in 80 games--the only time he would eclipse the 100-point mark.

20) In 1995, what player did the Stars receive from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for right winger Paul Broten?


The Stars traded for three-time Frank J. Selke Trophy winner Guy Carbonneau, who became a key piece to the Stanley Cup winning formula and lifted his third and final cup with Dallas in 1999.
