There's a reason coaches toss around the cliché "Your best players have to be your best players," and the 2015-16 Stars stand as a pretty good example.
Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin were among the top players in the NHL before Jan. 1. In averaging better than point a game, Benn and Seguin helped the Stars to a 28-8-3 record.
Since then, they've seen their point production fall to half and their plus-minus plummet precipitously.
Likewise, goalies Antti Niemi and Kari Lehtonen started the year in fine shape, but since New Year's Eve have some of the worst goaltending numbers in the NHL.
