New signing Philippe Sanche was not available to make his second debut in Stars colours as he awaited international clearance and his side would be a man down in the opening minute as Brendan Harms was penalised for a high-stick but the visitors would kill off the two-minute penalty.
Dundee then went down the other end of the ice and took the lead on six minutes as Stars captain, Drydn Dow picked up the puck in the slot and buried his shot past Matt Greenfield on his right side.
Both teams would then have a few chances each to add to the scoring throughout the remainder of the opening period but the Taysiders would still be 1-0 ahead going into the first break after limiting their opponents to only four shots on target, even with the Steelers having another powerplay opportunity.
The Stars would also start the second period a man down as Craig Moore was called for holding but again killed off the penalty before Sheffield then cashed in for three goals in 90 seconds to seize control of the match.
