Heading into the season, Dallas Stars fans were confident that this would be the year that Jason Dickinson, one of the teams’ top prospects, would make the leap from the AHL to become an NHL regular. Instead, he spent most of the year bouncing between the two leagues, and even though he played in 27 NHL games, he only managed to score two assists and no goals.
Having such a low-scoring rookie season has to be painful, but Dickinson is instead trying to look at the positives from his time up in Dallas:
“For the most part, I don’t think it’s played out exactly how I would imagined, but I mean, I’m still in the lineup, I’m still playing games in the NHL,” [Dickinson] said.
