Dallas Stars Start Season With a Bang, Winning First Two Road Games
Dallas Stars have started their season with a bang, winning their first two games on the road against division rivals Winnipeg and Colorado. This is a repeat of their playoff success last season. The team, now led by Glen Gulutzan, who returned as head coach in July after a seven-year absence, is focusing on instilling a competitive spirit. Gulutzan, brought back by general manager Jim Nill, believes the Stars don't need much to score and should instead focus on winning the territorial battle. The team finished practice with a 1-on-1 drill battling for pucks to emphasize this competitive edge.
The Stars' victories against Winnipeg and Colorado were achieved differently. Against Winnipeg, they relied on a strong defensive performance, while against Colorado, they capitalized on their opponents' mistakes. Despite the varied approaches, seven Stars players have already scored goals, with Wyatt Johnston and Jason Robertson leading the pack with two goals each.
Glen Gulutzan's return to the Dallas Stars has seen an immediate impact, with the team securing two crucial road wins. With a focus on competition and territorial dominance, Gulutzan aims to build on this successful start. The Stars' balanced scoring, with seven players already finding the net, bodes well for the season ahead.
