NHL Power Rankings: Which Teams Are Lighting Up the Ice and Which Are Hanging by a Thread After a Quarter Season
3. Dallas Stars, 13-5-3
Last week: 2
Sean: 4
Dom: 3
Green flag: Miro Heiskanen, Norris finalist?
It’s almost strange that a player so good and so respected has never come all that close to winning the Norris. If he keeps this up, that’ll change. He’s providing his typically high-end play in monster minutes, including 28:13 on Thursday, and his production is up: He’s fifth among defensemen with 19 points, and his 2.13 points/60 is nearly a full point above last season.
Red flag: Thomas Harley
A week-to-week injury is never good news, but it might serve as some sort of explanation for Harley’s play in his first 18 games: Dallas was outscored 15-9 with him on the ice, and his expected goal share was about 42 percent.
