Even though the Dallas Stars have improved in modest, painfully slow ways, the season still feels like a groundhog day away from the usual comedy of errors. It's hard to judge them collectively given their injuries, but one of the areas we can safely judge them in a vacuum is their power play.
Dallas' power play ranks 18th in the NHL. Last season, they were 4th in the league, boasting a unit not even the historically great Washington Capitals could beat.
What exactly has changed? Well here’s a list of Dallas' minute munching first unit: Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, John Klingberg, Patrick Eaves, and Jason Spezza.
