What, collectively, have the Dallas Stars been doing to garner so much poor luck from the hockey gods these days?
In three round robin games and an exhibition game since the season resumed, the Stars have been shut out in 10 of 12 periods. They’ve scored just four goals, and it’s only that high thanks to a five-minute stretch in the game in which the team played the Vegas Golden Knights — and subsequently coughed up a 3-1 lead to lose 5-3.
There are a couple of positives the team can take into the opening game of their first round matchup with the Vancouver Canucks from today’s game, which saw the team get back to their usual defensive stoutness and solid penalty killing abilities.
