The Dallas Stars Never Showed up in Philadelphia | Special Team Struggles and Big Weekend Ahead

The Dallas Stars got dominated by the Philadelphia Flyers in a 5-1 loss at the Wells Fargo Center last night. After one of their most complete wins of the season a few nights ago, the Flyers compete level was much higher. On today’s episode of Locked On Stars, Joey explains that the Stars simply did not have the energy and competitiveness to match the Flyers to win last night. It was a frustrating night for many Stars, the lone bright spot was a goal by Tyler Seguin off an assist by Matt Duchene. Jake Oettinger faced 43 shots including 14 in the first and 16 in the second. The Stars never really had the puck and when they did, most plays ended in turnovers and the Flyers coming the other way. Unfortunately, this effort came at the beginning of a road trip when the Stars were hoping to make a push before the All-Star break. Next up is the special teams play, the power play had two opportunities and only mustered two shots on goal. The Stars had a lot of trouble on their entries, and when you combine that with the Flyers NHL leading pk it was a bad night on the man advantage. The Flyers scored on one of their four power plays of the night, and the goal at the time made it a 3-1 game in the 3rd period and pretty much sealed the win for Philadelphia. The Stars really miss Miro Heiskanen on the power play who has quarterbacked both units for most of the season. He did not travel on the road trip but there are encouraging signs he will join them at some point in the next three games. To finish off the episode, Joey looks ahead at the back to back against New Jersey and the Islanders on Saturday and Sunday. He chooses a shooting star for the weekend and goes with Joe Pavelski, after a tough game in Philly looking for the veteran to right the ship.
