The prolific Dallas Stars offense is back and looking to make a jump in the standings.
Last Season: 40-31-10, 6th in Central Division
Key Player: G Kari Lehtonen/Antti Niemi
Dallas’ season hinges on the play of their goaltenders. Lehtonen is coming off one of his worst seasons, posting a career worst .903 save percentage (68th in the NHL) and a career second-worst 2.94 GAA (67th). He was also second among NHL goaltenders with 12 starts with a sub-.850 SV%, and was only one of four goalies in the double digits.
