On most nights, mimicking Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf would be seen as a good thing.

However, that wasn't the case when Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg coughed the puck up during Saturday's game against the Colorado Avalanche.

Klingberg dropped the puck back to start a rush, but with no one tailing him. Carl Soderberg was able to collect the puck before placing it over goaltender Antti Niemi's blocker.

If it makes Klingberg feel better, his 39 points are 11 better than Getzlaf's total this season.
