The Dallas Stars (5-1-0) made a few changes in the offseason, but they did little to bolster a defense or goalie tandem that most viewed as suspect. Their goals per game average is in the top 10 after their first 6 games, as is their penalty killing unit. Those are very pleasant surprises for a team that many believed would have to rely on their stellar offense in order to be competitive in the tough Central Division. That offense has very much lived up to the hype, scoring 3.5 goals per game, and leading a power play that is hitting with a 30% efficiency. Jamie Benn has been magnificent so far, notching 6 goals and 4 assists through the first 6 games. As expected, Tyler Seguin is leading the way with assists, and shares the point total lead for the Stars with Benn.
