Furthermore, the trio is a combined +26 in plus/minus, which is astounding by any metric. Finally, Robertson has compiled 4 goals and 4 assists. Hintz, for his part, has been a scoring machine with 7 goals and 3 assists. During this six-game run, the sixteen-year veteran has tallied 3 goals and 7 assists. But the emergence of the top line of Joe Pavelski, Roope Hintz, and Jason Robertson has spearheaded the Stars’ resurgence.Īs I said last week, Pavelksi has been splendidly holding off Father Time here in Dallas. Jake Oettinger has been solidifying his status as the future of the franchise since he was called up, and Braden Holtby has enjoyed a return to form after returning from injury. Sure, the goaltending has been phenomenal. In fact, they’re averaging 3.5 goals per game during the winning streak while giving up less than 1.5 goals per contest in the same span. They’ve won six in row and have been dummying teams in the process. Speaking of November 18th, that’s actually the last time the Dallas Stars lost a game. And that even includes the 7-2 Minnesota debacle on November 18th. But since then, they’ve posted a record of 8-1-0 with 33 goals for and 19 against. It doesn’t take a quantum physicist to understand that that’s not going to win a lot of games. To wit, when the Stars were at their lowest–4-6-2–their goal differential was -12 (27 GF/39 GA). Not only that, but the calls for the maligned coach’s head have “mysteriously” disappeared. But a closer look easily tells the story of how this bunch has pulled together. Their goal differential is only +2 after all. Now, if you look at their splits at face value, it’s hard to tell how well they’ve been playing lately. They’re record is a much more respectable 12-7-2, and as of this moment, they’re one point out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Save for a pretty glaring hiccup in Minnesota back on November 18th, Dallas has won eight of their past nine games. Since that loss to Nashville, the Stars’ turnaround has been nothing short of remarkable. The Dallas Stars’ top line has made them one of the hottest teams in the NHL.
