With injuries and well a lack of scoring on the secondary lines, Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock was forced to make some changes. It isn’t too often coaches breaking up their stars into separate lines, but Hitchcock has always played by his own rules and always was, in a sense, an innovator.
And innovation is what he has come to 15 games into the season, as 5-on-5 play has been very unproductive (and at times dull) for the Stars. We as fans and are supposed to look forward to the power-play, but we all look forward to it now a little too much.
