Coming out of the Christmas break for the National Hockey League, Joey begins today’s episode of Locked On Stars discussing the unbelievable win the Dallas Stars had against the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The Stars made history by becoming the first team to score the tying goal and go ahead goal in the final 15 seconds of regulation. Craig Smith and Jani Hakanpaa were the two goal scores along with Evgenii Dadanov to erase a two goal deficit in the 3rd period. The two biggest takeaways for Joey over the last week is tightening up defensively and being able to win from behind. The Stars lead the NHL with 12 come from behind wins this season. We then segway into a conversation about the power play that is 0 for the last 14 opportunities. Dallas has been able to win without it by holding opponents off the scoresheet on the man advantage, but it could make life much easier if they get it rolling again. Joey offers some solutions and why he thinks the power play has slipped over the past week. The show wraps up by praising Scott Wedgewood who has put up a 9-1-2 record in 12 games this season and has been an anchor since Jake Oettinger went down with an injury. He allows the Stars to be in every game and has such a great compete level since switching his mindset to being a number one goalie instead of a backup. His presence has been superb this season and a big reason why the Stars are in first place in the Central Division and top 5 in the NHL.

I don't know about you, but i think the drop pass entries on the power play are more of a liability than an asset. Stop using it as a crutch. If you can't martial the puck into the zone without the need for a drop pass, then your system is broken. I don't see many other teams using this technique, and i suspect it's because it rarely works to any great success. It also leads to shorthanded chances, which i've noticed we're giving up too many of those lately. Ugh. Anyway, GO Stars in STL!
A win is a win ๐ฅ, Iโm just glad that got two more points to put more of a cushion between them and the Colorado Avalanche. Scott Wedgewood has been delivering great performances between the pipes in Otterโs absence.
