Did you watch the Dallas Stars’ third period on Tuesday night and say, “Let’s have more of that”? Sure, we all did! But how do the Stars make it stick?
Stars senior staff writer Mike Heika has chosen five things the team need to improve if they want to give fans more of that “Sweet Victory” action:
On the whole, the Stars have been outscored 10-9 in first periods and have been outshot 136-129, so it’s a situation where they can say they have responded well in some game. But that’s part of the issue, there is no real consistency, and at times when you think they will come out and dominate a first period, they often just dip their toe in the water and test the temperature.
