When your top three skill players all spend over seven minutes on the power play apiece, you’d expect to rack up a point or two on the advantage. And, if they weren’t able to, you’d likewise expect your team to suffer for missing out on so many opportunities.
Dallas went 0-6 on the power play, and it didn’t matter, somehow. The Stars don’t care about missed opportunities. They don’t care about missed nets, either, as the posts behind Calvin Pickard took a beating tonight. In fact, just at even-strength tonight, the Stars generated 30 scoring chances to the Avs’ 14.
