Dallas Stars Playoff Recap To Date

An Early Exit

The Dallas Stars' playoff run came to an end on May 5th, 2023, after a 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 7 of their second-round series. The Stars were outplayed by the Golden Knights in all facets of the game, and they were never really in contention after the first period. The Stars finished the regular season with a 53-21-8 record, good for second place in the Central Division. They then defeated the Nashville Predators in the first round of the playoffs, but they were unable to overcome the Golden Knights in the second round. The Stars' playoff exit was a disappointing end to a promising season. They were one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup, but they were unable to live up to expectations. The Stars will now have to regroup and try to make a deeper run in the playoffs next season.

Highlights From The Series

The Stars' playoff run was not without its highlights. They won Game 1 of the series against the Golden Knights in overtime, and they also won Game 3 in a shootout. However, the Golden Knights were the better team in the series, and they ultimately deserved to win.

One of the bright spots for the Stars in the playoffs was the play of goaltender Jake Oettinger. Oettinger played all seven games of the series, and he made some incredible saves. He finished the series with a .932 save percentage and a 2.25 goals-against average.

The Stars also got some good production from their top players in the playoffs. Jason Robertson led the team with 10 goals and 16 points, and Joe Pavelski added 9 goals and 15 points. However, the Stars' offense was not consistent enough, and they were unable to score enough goals to win games.

The Stars' playoff exit was a disappointment, but they can take some solace in the fact that they played a hard-fought series against a very good team. They will now have to regroup and try to make a deeper run in the playoffs next season.
