Not that Lindy Ruff doesn't have enough personnel issues with all of the Stars' injuries, but now he has to be acutely aware of how he is playing his points on the power play.
Dallas is among the league's worst teams in allowing shorthanded chances while on the man advantage. It's an odd area of statistics, but it's also a crucial one. While allowing a shorthanded goal doesn't happen often, the event can change the momentum in a game.
Dallas is tied for most shorthanded goals against at two, most shorthanded shots on goal against at 12 and leads in most shorthanded shot attempts against at 21 in 34 power plays.
