With Roope Hintz having the hot hand, we need to keep this ball rolling. The line of Robertson-Hintz-Pavelski has proven to be the top lineup on the team, with a combined stat line of 5 goals 4 assists and 9 points over the last 2 games. If they keep playing solid defense with stout goaltending our offense is primed for an explosion. One key thing that I noticed is that Dallas isn’t resting on their laurels when they get ahead. After the empty net goal was scored against Detroit, Dallas played like it was a 5-5 game instead of 5-2, they wanted number 6. This shows a sign that they’re no longer going to have any complacency in their locker room. A team that holds no room for complacency is a very dangerous team to face.
Roope Hintz called that corner.

While the Stars have looked incredible since the players only meeting, the road only gets tougher ahead. This team is incredibly resilient, however, and I truly believe they can face anything that comes their way. With 4 of the next 6 games coming inside the central division this is the time to step it up a notch. Wins within the division are always tough but they are the fastest way back into the all too early hunt for a playoff spot.
