The Dallas Stars’ most recent road losses have provided another window into their biggest issue: They can’t seem to generate offense to save their lives, or their season.
The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks was tracking this problem long before the team got outscored 10-2 in two losses in Florida. And he found the 3-1 loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning to be their worst yet:
The Stars attempted a season-low 34 shots, a figure that eclipsed only 12 other performances across the NHL this season. They put just one shot on goal during the 24:17 following Esa Lindell’s first-period goal.
