It’s still early, but narratives are already forming three games into the Dallas Stars’ season. At the top is a clear underperformance from the team’s top forwards, and they know it:
“We need to be better,” [Jamie] Benn said. “Especially myself. It’s a tough league and your best players have to be your best players, especially on the road.”
“Frustrating,” [Tyler] Seguin said. “I don’t think it’s too early to say your best players have to be your best players with our top couple of lines.”
Benn and Alexander Radulov have only a single assist in three games, while Seguin has none.
