The Surging Detroit Redwings Roll Over The Slumping Dallas Stars

The Detroit Redwings finally have a healthy roster again and it is paying off with wins in five of their last six games. When they face off against the Dallas Stars they will go up against a team headed in the other direction.

The Stars are slumping and quickly fading from post season contention. That's why Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk paid a heavy price to acquire Alex Goligoski in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Dallas had to give up left winger James Neal, a potential 40-goal scorer, and erratic defenseman Matt Niskanen to add Goligoski.

But with a playoff berth slipping away during the team's worst slump of the season, Nieuwendyk felt something had to be done to change the makeup of his team. Dallas is 2-10-1 in its last 13 games to fall out of first place in the Pacific Division and they are hoping the trade will shake up the team. The reason for the slump may be due to struggles on the offensive end of the ice. Dallas has two goals or less in nine of its last 12 games.

The wings have played very well of late but did not have enough to beat the Sharks. The Wings have been getting stingier defensively, but they were not as tight as they needed to be against the Sharks, allowing too many shots (43) and scoring chances. This time, their potent offense could not compensate. San Jose and its big, talented forwards spent a lot of time cycling the puck in the offensive zone.

The result was that the Red Wings had their season-high five-game winning streak snapped, but they should be able to rebound with a win over the lifeless Dallas Stars.
