Although the Dallas Stars are hoping to have a successful preseason – which is already underway – there’s not necessarily a correlation between their performance now and what they’ll do once the regular season is underway.
How it does
Obviously, the preseason helps the Stars set their roster for the upcoming year. That’s the biggest component of the games prior to puck drop in mid-October, and it will continue to have an impact long into the regular season.
Poor decisions up front from regular season and training camp play can cause downward spirals for teams – especially as it concerns their younger players.
