Dallas Stars’ seven-game point streak ends with a stunning 7-5 defeat to the Anaheim Ducks—can the penalty kill woes derail their playoff ambitions? Joey Erickson spotlights the Stars’ special teams crisis, where a scorching power play is offset by a faltering penalty kill—the NHL’s worst at home (61.5%). Key moments include Wyatt Johnston’s power play brilliance, Jake Oettinger’s shaky return, and Miro Haskinen’s four-point night. The episode probes critical turnovers, inconsistency between periods, and how injuries to center icemen and Matt Duchene’s absence ripple through the lineup. Analysis centers on five-on-five play, potential fixes for the PK, and what upcoming games against Nashville Predators and Seattle Kraken mean for Dallas’ trajectory. Will the Stars find a defensive edge before high-paced opponents exploit their weaknesses again? Get expert insights, tactical breakdowns, and the latest lineup updates as Dallas aims to right the ship and reignite their contender status.
