The Dallas Stars have looked great on paper in their first two games. Unfortunately, it hasn’t helped them win games, yet.
Stars fans know this song, but The Dallas Morning News’ Mike Heika provided another refrain last night:
After two games, Dallas leads the NHL in shots on goal (43.0 per game), fewest shots on goal against (25.5 per game) and shot differential (plus-17.5 per game). If you like the puck possession game, then all of this is going exactly as you planned.
...
Dallas has faced two hot goalies in losses to the Golden Knights and Blues and has been able to muster just three goals in two games.
