The Dallas Stars were absolutely shelled tonight by the Edmonton Oilers. Not completely unexpected when a team that’s all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs is playing a team that’s fighting to maintain their playoff position.
Plenty of the goals against could be placed at the feet of different positions: defensemen not cutting off passing lanes or clearing the front of the net, forwards caught chasing the puck and blowing their coverage assignments in the defensive zone, goaltending with some questionable positioning at times.
They had seven hung on them. There’s no point in breaking it all down.
