The Stars have gone past regulation 19 times this season are 14-5 in those games, including 10-3 in overtime. That s pretty good. In fact, best in the league and a real reason why the team is in contention for a wild card playoff spot.
The battle between using practice for details and skipping practice for energy has once again hit the Stars hard. Dallas last season had to basically abandon practices because of injuries and a condensed schedule, and it hurt as they finished 2-4-2 and missed the playoffs. This year, they Stars are hoping they ve learned a thing or two, as they ll play 12 games in 21 days and are in the middle of a tight playoff race.
A pair of game-tying goals in the third helped force overtime in a game Dallas seemed destined to lose. Plus, Ringo is the best mascot, Doug Wilson steps down, and more.
If you re simply looking on paper, the Stars second line should include some combination of Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. The two veterans are the highest paid players on the team, and each have strong histories of scoring exploits that make them among the franchise leaders. They also are 30 and 32 respectively, so they should be in the primes of their careers.
