Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and John Klingberg are the Dallas Stars. That’s where this team starts at its best, and tonight, that’s where they ended, and not because they scored.
The 2014-15 Dallas Stars missed the playoffs because of an abysmal early start and sub-par goaltending all season long. Burdened by a newly post-cliff Kari Lehtonen and a defense that took enough time figuring things out that Jim Nill brought in Jason Demers and Klingberg, the 2014-15 Dallas Stars began their season with a 6-7-4 record, for 16 points through 17 games. They would go 35-24-6 the rest of the way, and it would not be good enough.
