They struggled with just two wins, six losses, and four overtime losses over 12 grueling games from before the holiday breakthrough mid-January. Now, they've won four of their last five, looking more like the powerhouse team everyone expected at the start of the season. They're right in the playoff hunt, too. The Stars trail the Minnesota Wild by just one point for second place in the Central Division.
What recent changes have led to the Dallas Stars' playoff resurgence?
Colorado Avalanche hold the top spot with an eight-point lead, but grabbing home ice for the first playoff round would be huge for Dallas. Fans are buzzing about the offense exploding with 20 goals in the last six games. It's all about balance, with three lines chipping in big time.
Young star Wyatt Johnston leads the top line with four goals and two assists in that stretch. The second line is on fire, led by Jason Robertson's three goals and four assists for seven points, topping all-star skaters lately.
Veteran Matt Duchesne is back strong after a long concussion layoff, ripping in five goals with no assists yet. Defensively, things are clicking too, especially goalie Jake Oettinger winning his last four starts after some early struggles. If Dallas keeps this up on both ends, their playoff ceiling looks sky high as the season rolls on. Support for this Dean and episode comes from our sponsor. Head in, sound on, lights out.
