Shooting Stars
While the Dallas Stars have been shooting at accelerated rates in Round 3 from Round 2, their individual points/60 is down and have averaged 1.7 fewer goals per game in the WCF than the 2nd round. Adin Hill's impressive play has helped the Golden Knights but the Stars must rely on their sharpshooters like Hintz and Johnston to find the back of the net.
