Stars Scoring Some Goals
The Dallas Stars have been a playoff contender for the last few seasons, but they have traditionally gotten the job done with defense and physical play. The Stars are scoring 3.82 goals per game, and they just continue to overwhelm opponents with their offense.
Jason Robertson has been the offensive star for the Stars, and he looks like one of the best players in the league. Robertson has scored 18 goals and dished out 17 assists, and other teams simply don’t have an answer for him.
Goaltender Jake Oettinger is also having a big season, going 8-2-3 in the net. Dallas can still be great on the defensive end, but the Stars now have an explosive offense to go along with that.

Blues Must Figure Out Special Teams
After an impressive comeback win over the Florida Panthers, head coach Craig Berube said, “Great comeback win. Guys really pulled it together.” St. Louis has been able to bounce back after a very slow start, but the Blues need to find a way to be better on special teams.
St. Louis is scoring on the power play 22 percent of the time, but the Blues aren’t getting enough chances with the man advantage. The Blues have killed off just 69 percent of their own penalties and this has turned into a big problem.
Jordan Kyrou was the hero in the most recent game, and he leads the way with nine goals. St. Louis is going to have to find a way to generate more offense, especially against a Stars team that can score.
