The Dallas Stars have spent the past few seasons boasting one of the best first lines in hockey. That’s not easy to do on a consistent basis. But when Jim Nill is general manager, anything is possible.
This first line dominance all began in 2014-15 when the Stars first experimented briefly with the “Supernova Line” of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Jason Spezza. It wasn’t a long-term solution, but gave Dallas an extra edge and dose of offensive firepower when enacted.
2015-16 was a good year for the Dallas offense overall as they led the league in scoring.
