The Dallas Stars have surged in front of the NHL by defeating the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 last night. How has this team surprised the league after missing the playoffs last season?
The Dallas Stars are really good at hockey right now. Dallas leads the Central Division with a record of 15-4-0 and 30 points. If the season ended Tuesday night the Stars would win the Presidents Trophy taking a tiebreaker of regulation and overtime wins (ROW) against the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers.
The blueprint for the Dallas game has not been surprising: Absolutely bury the other team in a landslide of goals.
