The first quarter of this season elicited a pretty hefty amount of frustration from Stars fans. They would look great in one game, then terrible in the next. They would jump out to a two or three goal lead, only to give it up. They would dominate play for long stretches, and then give up a quick barrage of goals that they couldn’t recover from. The last couple of months, however, have been different:
The Stars’ transition this season has taken work. Dallas started 11-10-1 and was outscored 65-61 in that span. In the past 28 games, the Stars have gone 17-8-3 and outscored the opposition 94-69.
