3-0 may not have felt like a blowout, but losing two games by a combined 7-1 score is being effectively blown away. Or maybe, ineffectively?

Through six games, the Stars have three goals from players other than the big four. Connor Carrick, Devin Shore, and Radek Faksa (empty net) each have a single goal, and that’s it. Which, let’s face it, is not going to quiet the questions about secondary scoring you’ve been hearing since last year.
On a road trip to Ottawa (who are bad) and New Jersey (who both are good and have been playing above their heads this year), the Stars amassed but one goal: a slick Jason Spezza nutmeg to John Klingberg, who beat Craig Anderson over the blocker.
