Dallas Stars

West Central · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Stars fans opened the season in despair after an 0-2 start and a scoring drought, then swung to euphoria as Oettinger's shutouts and a five-game win streak silenced the doomers. Two lopsided home losses brought frustration back, and a Halloween win over CBJ left them relieved at 8-5-1.

Season-long
  • Fans fumed over one goal in two opening games and a toothless late 6-on-5, briefly enjoyed outshooting opponents, then complained that Rantanen leads the team with only 6 goals.

    “Man that SOG is such a sight for sore eyes after seeing the opposite for what feels like forever”
