The Dallas Stars opened up a three-game road trip yesterday in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center. And, as it seems to be with every stretch this year, it looked to be an influential swing.
The Stars were sitting in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, claiming fourth in the Central division. But with other teams breathing down their neck, there was little room for error. That’s where the road trip came into play.
One of the Stars’ weaknesses this season is their play away from home. They are 3-4-1 on the road this throughout the first six weeks of their 2018-19 campaign.
