Dallas Stars: Go Out On The Road

The Dallas Stars have one of the oddest splits in the NHL. At home, they are an amazing team. The Stars look like a bonafide Stanley Cup contender when they’re playing at American Airlines Center. However, on the road, they are one of the worst teams in the league.

Whatever the reason is for their road struggles, fixing them should be the Stars top priority. In order to get anywhere in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, you need to be able to win on the road. It’s not likely you’re going to win all four games at home in a seven-game series (and you might not even get those four home games).

The Stars will have some home cooking heading into the New Year, which is a good thing. But unless they can find the antidote to their road illness, it might not matter too much. Even if the Stars do make the postseason, it likely won’t be for that long.
