The Dallas Stars have earned points in five of their last six games. That would be a titch more encouraging if three of them had not been overtime losses.
Yes, the Stars went beyond 60 minutes once again Tuesday night, opening this four-game homestand against the New Jersey Devil only to see their fifth loss and five such contests this season. They're getting healthier, they're earning points- But they've dropped 11 of 17 to open the year.
The homestand continues tonight as the Colorado Avalanche come calling- Those Avs took down the Stars 6-5 on October 15th in Denver in their only other meeting so far this year.
