The Dallas Stars are heading into the NHL Olympic break as the hottest team in the league. They just wrapped up a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday, marking their sixth straight victory. That's seven wins, one loss, and no overtime losses in their last eight games. Sitting third in the Central Division of the Western Conference, they're also third overall in the NHL, putting them squarely in the Stanley Cup.
What makes the Dallas Stars the hottest team in the NHL right now?
This hot streak comes from balanced play across the lineup, but their top stars are shining brightest. Players like Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, Roop Hintz, Miro Hyskanen, Thomas Harley, Matt Duchesne, Tyler Seguin, and Captain Jamie Benwer. pegged as key guys before the season. Seguin's been out since December 2nd with a torn ACL, but the rest have stepped up big time lately. In those last eight games, the numbers tell the story. Robertson has four goals and five assists for nine points. Rantanen has eight points mostly from assists. Duchesne notched five goals, and Ben, hence Heiskanen and Harley, are all right there with 7-2. Nine points each. The real edge? They're dominating at even strength, not just on the power play.
Ben sealed Wednesday's win with a game-winner at 5-on-5, just 23 seconds from the end. His first two-goal game of the year.
Fans are loving it, but it's been a nail-biter. Every one of those six straight wins came by a single goal. Three went down to the final 90 seconds, one in overtime and another in a shootout.
Dallas supporters might be out of fingernails by now, but those two points per game are stacking up in the standings. Now with three weeks off for the Olympic break, it's perfect timing to rest and recover. The stars aren't peaking too early, they're just meeting expectations. When play resumes, they'll be primed to push hard through the final third of the season. This story is made possible by our sponsor. See the episode description. Your pillow. Your podcast.
