A little bit of this would have gone a long way a couple of weeks ago. Seriously, where was this kind of effort against Calgary and Detroit? Or, for that matter, Washington last Friday?

If this year’s Flyers team has shown us anything, it’s low-event hockey. The team under the stead of Rick Tocchet has prioritized the prevention of shots against above everything else, and the numbers reflect that reality. The Flyers have allowed the fourth least shots in the league to this point, less than contenders like the Avalanche, the Stars, and the Lightning. They play a very tight, perimeter game that makes it hard for most teams to truly set up and find open shooting lanes...

The Wild are largely in cruise control for the rest of the regular season, as they’re pretty solidly locked into the No. 3 spot in the Central Division, almost guaranteed to be facing the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs. Minnesota is six points behind Dallas’ 94 and the Star...
You wouldn't know it, but the Dallas Stars have been missing one of their best players since early February. They have a 15-game unbeaten streak (14-0-1), a franchise-record-tying feat.

Rantanen was injured while playing for Finland at the Olympics, and his return has been undetermined. Today, they got the news that it'll be at least another two weeks or so before he's back. ...

Jason Robertson had two goals and two assists, Wyatt Johnston had another three-point game against Edmonton, and the Dallas Stars went up 5-0 early in the second period, before eventually winning 7-2.

The Edmonton Oilers kicked off their road trip with two massive wins in Vegas and Colorado, but the job didn’t get any easier for round three when the boys faced the Dallas Stars. But while the Oilers brought their best for the first two games of the trip, the same could not be said about…
After one of the Edmonton Oilers’ best games of the season, the Oilers put up a stinker in the following game. On Thursday, the Oilers played the third of four games on the road, travelling to Dallas to play the Stars. While it wasn’t as bad as their 8-3 loss earlier this season, it wasn’t…
