It's February 2nd. Here's your Dallas Stars news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Dallas Stars finally got some momentum going after a tough January that felt endless. They picked up their fourth straight win on Saturday, beating the Utah Mammoth 3-2 in Salt Lake City. It wasn't their flashiest performance, but their power play kept delivering, which has been huge in this recent hot streak. Over the last six games, the Stars are five wins, one loss, no overtime losses.
What recent successes have the Dallas Stars achieved?
They've cashed in eight power play goals out of 19 chances, making them the second best team in the league at it. All eight goals came in just four of those games, with two each time, and Saturday's pair stood out as the sharpest yet. Thomas Harley got things started at the .211 mark with his first power play goal of the season. He was playing out of position in the slot with the second unit alongside Jamie Benn, Matt Duchesne, Maverick Borquet, and Justin Harakowian. Bork took the points by usually Harley's. Bork fed it to Benn on the right wing, and the captain smartly carried the puck back toward the blue line, pulling Utah's Nate Schmidt way out of position. Ben dished it back to Bourquet, who stick-handled, flicked it toward the net, and it deflected right to Harley between the circles.
With Schmidt still scrambling, Harley jammed home the rebound off the post. This play showed Dallas leaning on smarts over brute force. Ben's veteran IQ dragged the defender out, creating that space, while Harley's quick positioning beat Utah's coverage. It's a good sign their power play is clicking as they build on this streak.
