It’s been a tough stretch for Dallas. They’ve played well overall, but the results haven’t aligned much with their efforts.
Against Chicago, the floodgates didn’t open per se. They just sort of cracked. And it was enough to earn two points, and regain a wild card spot.
There were a lot of things to watch: Hitchcock’s frankenroster, whether Honka would break his three second rule (just joshing), special teams, secondary scoring, Oleksiak in Pittsburgh, Alex DeBrincat, and whether Brent Seabrook’s contract has finally morphed into Venom’s symbiote on Bowman’s cap friendly page - through it all, Dallas came through.
