Stars Proving Jim Nill Right
March 2nd, 2018 Dallas Stars general manager Jim Nill didn't make a single move at the NHL trade deadline. In two games since the February 26 deadline, the team has proven the GM right. On Tuesday, a focused Calgary Flames club rode into Dallas on a two-game win streak and trailing the Stars by a single point in the Western Conference wild card race....
Sharks Exploit Stars’ Shortcomings in 5-2 Blowout
February 19th, 2018 Friday’s 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues brought the Dallas Stars elation, a sigh of relief, and an important move up the Western Conference's crowded ladder.

They struggled mightily away from Dallas last season, posting a disappointing 12-24-5 road record, and are 6-9-1 as visitors so far in 2017-18. The Stars left town after practice Sunday, heading east on a tough four-game tour...
