The Dallas Stars have made it a habit throughout their 2018-19 journey to try and prove that low-scoring hockey games can be just as fun as high-scoring hockey games. And yes, that’s an unpopular opinion to try and boast.
After all, the majority of hockey fans tune into games to see things such as pretty goals, intense back-and-forth action, heavy hits, fighting, and clutch moments. A 2-1 game usually doesn’t include a lot of those qualities. Instead, those games tend to center around strong goaltending, structured defensive play, and a small handful of chances that must be capitalized upon in order to come out on top.
