Yesterday, Rob wrote about how the Dallas Stars were looking for consistency heading into their matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. They ended up losing their sixth consecutive game that headed into overtime, making them 1-7 after 60 minutes for the season. So technically they were consistent? Just not in the way you’d hope for.
There’s no sugar coating the playoff picture — it looks bleak. Dallas has six games in hand on the Blue Jackets (5th) and Chicago Blackhawks (4th), but are behind by 6 and 11 points respectively.
