Small sample sizes are properly ridiculed whenever someone tries to extrapolate broad themes out of them. Or predictions.
So I’ll try anyway.
Through the first five games, Dallas’ forward group has combined for 7 goals. At least two from Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Mattias Janmark. Plus one empty netter from Martin Hanzal.
On one hand it’s nice to see the usual suspects on that list. On the other hand, it should be concerning to see no one else on that list.
It’s extra concerning that Dallas’ forwards have just three even strength goals through five games.
