Dallas Stars Daily Links: Moving in the Right Direction

After a terrible start to the season, the Stars’ have shown positive signs in their three-game winning streak. Plus, it’s a Penguins-Stars rematch tonight, the top UFAs for 2020, and more.

It was only a week ago that the Dallas Stars were sitting at 1-7-1, and the season seemed to be all but over by late October. Now, the Stars are riding a three-game winning streak, with things finally looking up for once:

“We are finding ways to win,” [Corey] Perry said. “It’s not pretty, but it’s been effective and it’s getting the job done. Like I said, we’re one step at a time, one day at a time, and take it day by day.”

Of course, it’s not all sunshine and roses — the Stars still have a long climb up before they’re back in a playoff spot, and each of their past three wins were against teams who are also sitting on the outside looking in currently. But as head coach Jim Montgomery says, it’s easier to make progress when you start seeing results:

“We’ve got to keep building,” Montgomery said. “It’s easier to teach and build on positives, and to teach on areas where you need to get better, when you’re winning. The players are more receptive, and I think the coaches do it in a better fashion.”
