FRISCO, Texas -- John Klingberg is making this look easy.
Through 20 games, the second-year Dallas Stars defenseman leads the NHL with 18 assists, is tied for the League lead with a plus-13 rating and is tied for fourth with 22 points.
Not bad numbers for someone who is 23.
"Obviously [my start] has been pretty good offensively. I've been having a lot of assists, obviously playing with good players who score goals, and the power play has been good too," Klingberg said Friday.
A fifth-round pick (No. 131) in the 2010 NHL Draft, Klingberg is just over one year removed from his NHL debut.
