Dallas Stars

State of the teamDallas finished with 112 points, third-best in the league, behind 45-goal seasons from Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston. But the Stars bowed out in the first round, upset by the Minnesota Wild in six games and missing the conference final for the first time since 2021-22. For a team built to win now under coach Glen Gulutzan, it was a deflating early exit. Jason Robertson signed for one year and $12 million, avoiding arbitration and leaving him a season from free agency, and Jamie Benn returned on a one-year deal. The new season starts tracking here at puck drop.

Team Engine

Under-the-hood numbers, season by season: faceoffs, possession (SAT% is what the analytics crowd calls Corsi; Fenwick is the same idea minus blocked shots — above 50% means this team controls play), special teams, and shot rates.

07

Zone Time

Offensive-zone time is the why behind shot-attempt share (SAT%) above — a team that lives in the offensive zone out-attempts opponents. The line tracks how that's moved season by season; the bar is this year's split. Based on NHL player-tracking data.
