Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer expressed initial concerns about a potential hangover effect on his team at the start of this season following their lengthy postseason run that concluded with a loss in the Western Conference Final last May. However, with just six games remaining before the playoffs, DeBoer is now feeling optimistic about the team's performance.
The Stars have recently achieved a franchise-record eight consecutive wins, with goaltender Jake Oettinger securing shutouts in the last two games. Currently, they lead the Western Conference standings with 105 points, trailing the New York Rangers by just one point for the top spot in the NHL. DeBoer commended the team's attention to detail and overall gameplay, emphasizing that their winning streak is a result of their strong performance.
