Heading into the 2015-16 season the Stars were underestimated to say the least. Their youth and perceived inexperienced reduced their legitimacy as a threat in the league.
By regular season’s end, however, the Stars had taken the Central Division and Western Conference titles.
That success put them on the hockey map once more and led to high expectations for this year. Those have yet to be met in the slightest thus far, though. Dallas is looking to crawl back to above .500, but will first have to analyze how they took such a hard fall to begin with.
