The Dallas Stars have won three consecutive games for the first time in this 2016-2017 season. Just in time for the 2016 part to be over, too.
Yes, look out Columbus and Minnesota- The Stars are coming for you. You know, kind of.
Dallas got two dogs on their schedule this week, and they did what you have to do to get by in this league- Kick 'em. Not emphatically. Maybe even a little lovingly at times, actually, but kick them they did and collect the full four points they have.
The win makes them 5-1-1 in their last seven, for those keeping track, and they've done it in the last way anyone expected them to: By keeping pucks out of their net rather than put them in the other team's.
