The Stars held on for a 4-3 win despite leading 4-1 point at one point. Roope Hintz scored the first goal of the season on the way to a stout 4-goal 2nd period in Nashville. 7 out of the 11 goals for the Stars this season are via the 2nd period. They’re skating harder than their opponents because of the “long change” in the 2nd period due to teams switching sides. Goals are piling up in the 2nd period, helping the team with 2.75 goals per game while also being at 1.25 goals against thanks to great goaltending.Goaltending Near Perfection<a href="https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/hockey/news/stars-casey-desmith-secures-shutout-in-dallas-debut/">New Acquisition Casey DeSmith is perfect so far this season.</a> Lengthy shutout streaks are already leading this team to a perfect 4-0 start. Two home games on Saturday and Sunday provided no goals for the visitors at the American Airlines Center. The worst save percentage in the goalie tandem is a brilliant .948 by Jake Oettinger. They’ve stopped 122 of the 127 shots faced providing the backstop for the rest of the team to thrive. Only three players have a negative +/- with all three being a -1.New AcquisitionsMany new players joined the Stars in the offseason. All of them possess a neutral +/- or better. Mathew Dumba holds a +2 despite only playing two games due to injury. The season is still early but things are looking good so far.Dismal PowerplayOne thing that isn’t looking good is the powerplay. The Stars are 28th in the league with only one powerplay goal in 13 opportunities. Their powerplay is a big reason for elimination in the Western Conference Final, scoring zero powerplay goals in the entire series. That powerplay percentage needs improving if wins will continue.Starting off with a 5-0 season is next on the docket Thursday in Washington D.C. This start is great, good enough to put the Stars atop the league standings. It’s way too early to be scoreboard and standings-watching. This start is great and it’s up to them to keep moving forward.Photo Credit: Dallas Stars X</div></body>
