Columbus Blue Jackets blank the Dallas Stars 1-0 behind Jet Greaves’ stellar performance, but the Stars show signs they're heading in the right direction. Are Dallas’ offensive struggles a mere blip, or a red flag for their playoff hopes? Joey Erickson analyzes Dallas’ tough loss, spotlighting missed opportunities from Jason Robertson, Maverick Bourque, and Justin Ritzkovian, and breaks down the impressive efforts of Matt Duchene and Thomas Harley. Key discussions cover shot quantity, high-danger chances, the impact of defensive lapses, and why strong play from the Stars’ blue line—especially Harley—is crucial. Plus, get a preview of tonight’s showdown against the St. Louis Blues and what a bounce-back win would mean against a struggling Central Division foe. Will the Stars turn near-misses into goals and keep pace in the Western Conference race?
