Jan. 19, 2019 marked an important turning point in the story of the 2018-19 Dallas Stars.
There’s no certainty as to why it happened when it did or what the driving force was behind it, but it changed the Stars’ outlook in a significant way.
The Stars, fresh off of a loss to the last-place Los Angeles Kings that marked four straight, were on the playoff wall and close to slipping outside of the picture. But, behind a strong performance on offense, defense, special teams, and in net, Dallas rallied out of the skid with a 4-2 win against the Winnipeg Jets.
