With an offense searching for consistency and depth, a strong power play would help the Stars battle for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
At times this season, the power play has been dynamite, like when it opened the season on fire or when it potted two goals in back-to-back games. Other times, they've been searching for anything on the man advantage, even going through a 1-for-24 stretch. But perhaps the most concerning issue is how few power plays the Stars are generating this season.
At the Christmas break, the Stars rank last in the NHL with 96 power-play opportunities.
