12-10-2 isn’t a terrible spot for the Dallas Stars to be in through 24 games in the 2018-19 season; but, it’s also not the best spot.
The Stars currently sit with 24 points in the middle of an overloaded Western Conference playoff race. It’s a good enough mark to hold them in the second wild card spot, but with four points separating them from a top-three spot in the Central division and four teams within four points just below them, it would be folly for Dallas to feel comfortable with 58 games to go in the year.
