But when it’s late October and all you have played is eight games, that’s where Dallas is at right now. In the last seven years, DeBoer has taken two teams — San Jose and Vegas — to the conference finals four times. Transfer that success to the normal experience and the Stars would have played 11 home playoff games in that run. Dallas has allowed 15 goals in eight games, making it the NHL’s only club under two goals surrendered per game. Are the Blues, losers of three in a row, taking a downturn after losing too many key players in free agency from their 2019 Cup team?
