Dallas Stars: Players Only Meeting showing dividends already.

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.

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.
