In their most recent game, Friday December 20 against the New York Rangers, the Dallas Stars played 17 minutes on the power play and were outscored 1-0; only the third time since 2009-10 that a team had that much time on the power play, and the only instance in which a team was outscored with that much power play time. That toothless showing was the low point of what’s been a frustrating power play all season. As of Saturday, the Stars sit 23rd in the league in goals for per 60 minutes on the power play; a stunning drop after finishing 5th and 6th in the two previous seasons, per Evolving-Hockey.
