There are only rare occasions in which I miss the way scheduling was done before realignment and the league changed it so that every team visits every other team in the league each season. Playing in New Jersey is one of those rare times.
Dallas just doesn’t usually get results in the Garden State. (To the tune of like three wins in the last 20ish years or something insane.)
A lot of that is because Dallas didn’t visit New Jersey every year until recently, sure. But the other part is that the Stars have struggled with systems like the Devils have.
