It’s been a while since Stars fans really had a chance to enjoy a long playoff run. Sure, the Stars reached the 2020 Stanley Cup Final, but that was in the...
at just age 23. Although he and the Stars lost in the first round last season to Calgary in seven games, Oettinger had a 1.81 goals-against average and .954 save percentage.

Special teams. The Stars rank within the top five on both the power play and penalty kill . Given how tight the game becomes in the postseason at even strength, the ability to capitalize on the power play or thwart teams down a skater can be the key to a long run.

Miro Heiskanen, who now quarterbacks the No. 1 power play, has a whopping 32 assists with the man-advantage.
Want to impress co-workers at the water cooler? Mention the Stars’ haul in the 2017 NHL draft. The Stars drafted Miro Heiskanen third, Jake Oettinger at 26 and Jason Robertson as a steal at 39. That core could power the Stars for the rest of the decade.What’s the atmosphere like? Not much different than you probably remember.

Oh, and the longtime tradition of yelling “Stars” at the appropriate moments during theremain. During a recent game with Las Vegas, a good-sized contingent of Golden Knights’ fans yelled “Knights” on cue during the Anthem and were answered loudly by Stars fans shortly thereafter.
