The Dallas Stars are heading into the Olympic break on fire, playing their best hockey all season. They've won their last six games in a row and seven of their last eight, boosting their record to 34 wins, 14 losses, and nine overtime losses. That surge has them sitting third in the division, right back in the mix as a top Stanley Cup contender. A big reason for the turnaround is forward, Matt Duchesne, who's lighting it up on the third line. He's got points in six straight games, with six goals and three assists during that hot streak.
What recent successes have the Dallas Stars achieved before the Olympic break?
After a slow start with just 11 points in his first 26 games, this is a huge rebound for the veteran who led the team in scoring last.
Meanwhile, the Stars' top offense keeps humming, led by Finnish winger Mikko Rantanen with 63 points on 19 goals and 44 assists. In 48 games, he's on pace for his third 100-point season.
Jason Robertson is right there, too, leading with 29 goals and 58 points total, making a strong case for his next big contract. Young star Wyatt Johnston, just 22, is having a breakout year with 29 goals and 59 points in 57 games. He's one power play goal away from breaking the franchise record, said by Mike Modano. On defense, Mairo Heiskanen has 46 points, and goalie Jake Oettinger has won his last six starts before heading to the Olympics for Team USA. Finland will have the most stars players at the games, including Rantanen, Heiskanen, Issa Lindell, and Rup Hintz. With all this momentum after three straight conference final heartbreaks, Dallas is laser-focused on finally bringing the Stanley Cup home to Texas.
