It’s hard not to watch the Dallas Stars this season and wonder if you didn’t slip into a parallel universe. In seasons past, the Stars have proudly championed their “boring” style of play, how winning one-goal, low scoring games was the key to success.
This year? Their offense is firing on all cylinders:
They lead games more often than any other team in the NHL, their 36:46 per game ahead is almost six minutes more than second-place Boston. Likewise, the Stars spend just 5:58 per game trailing, more than three minutes fewer than second-place Vegas.
