There was a lot to like and a lot to be cautious about in the Dallas Stars’ first 11 games of the 2017-18 season. As you examine the team from a critical standpoint, those positives and negatives are pretty obvious.
Special teams, the goaltending duo, and the resilience and determination of the team are great positives. Defensive power and an inability to close out games are some of the negatives.
Another glaring negative is in regards to the Stars’ lack of depth scoring.
To put it plainly, if a Dallas Stars forward isn’t named Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, or Alexander Radulov, they have had a tough start to the year statistics-wise.
