What can be said about the Dallas Stars through the first 29 games of their 2019-20 season? Let’s start from the beginning.
Rewind to around 9 p.m. on Oct. 29, 2019. The Stars are in a significant 3-0 hole against the Minnesota Wild at American Airlines Center and can’t seem to get anything going in their favor. They replaced Ben Bishop with Anton Khudobin at first intermission, couldn’t get their power play rolling, and had been victimized on the penalty kill by two Minnesota power-play goals.
And though things looked scary in that game, the big picture looked even more frightening.
