Fifteen: Dallas (1st Central)

The Dallas Stars might have the best offensive full line of any club in the league. Tyler Seguin  C and Jamie Benn. LW are as dangerous as any duo in the league - think Getzlaf/Perry of previous seasons but slightly more dangerous. Coach Lindy Ruff puts out a fun, tough brand here and I think Dallas is one of the more enjoyable hockey teams to watch. A seven game series against Los Angeles or Chicago will be so awesome to see.

Record: 22 - 5 - 2 46pts ( projected: 27 - 7 - 2 46pts)

No significant injuries.

Saturday at St Louis
Tuesday Columbus visits
Thursday Calgary visits
Saturday Montreal visits
Monday at Minnesota
Tuesday Chicago visits
Saturday at St Louis


Many tests on this leg of fifteen days. The Chicago games is always a litmus test for a team. Calgary played them very well last time. A split with St. Louis isn't bad - winning both could be a statement.

Dallas is certainly a high-octane offense. Being held to one goal at Edmonton is a shocker. But overall, Dallas is playing winning hockey - seems they can always get a goal when needed.
