Stars notebook: ‘Stupid penalties’ continue to plague Dallas despite stellar penalty kill

They have only had 2.84 power plays per game. On Monday, the Stars killed five of the six Colorado power plays, including one in overtime after Mason Marchment was called for tripping Nathan MacKinnon. “Bottom line is you can’t put yourself in that spot against anybody, but particularly players like that that are going to get those calls,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. MacKinnon (29:51 total, 8:50 on the power play) and Mikko Rantanen (28:20 total, 9:36 on the power play) were other beneficiaries. “It felt like we didn’t get many power plays tonight and they were getting everything called,” goaltender Jake Oettinger said.
