The Stars’ three trade deadline acquisitions Mikael Granlund, Cody Ceci and Mikko Rantanen tallied four total points in Dallas’ win over Vancouver.

Mikael Granlund scored his first goal for the Stars and Dallas beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Sunday night. Dallas picked up both the Finnish center and Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks for first- and third-round picks on Feb.

Ceci managed an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.

In the meantime, the Stars (39-19-2) will continue to go with what they have and have added. They are 6-2-1 since acquiring Granlund and Ceci and find themselves in second place in both the Central Division and Western Conference, eight points back of the Winnipeg Jets.

No one will argue that the Stars walked away from the trade deadline as one of the league’s biggest winners, but Nill’s wizardry to bring in one of the NHL’s top scorers still doesn’t address the team’s biggest need of defensive depth.
