Dallas Stars suffer an overtime setback against the Detroit Red Wings, but Wyatt Johnston continues his power play dominance with his 20th goal of the season. Has Johnston become the Stars’ biggest offensive weapon before the Christmas break? Joey Erickson recaps the high-intensity clash, spotlighting Johnston’s NHL-leading 14 power play goals and the electric performances from Roope Hintz and Jamie Benn. The analysis covers defensive lapses, Casey DeSmith’s record-setting 13-game point streak in net, and injury updates across the roster. Heated debates surround Dallas’ need for a veteran defenseman and middle-six scoring forward—could these additions propel the Stars past Western Conference rivals like the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild? With special teams thriving but depth questions lingering, can the Dallas Stars sustain their momentum and make a deep playoff run?

Horrible defense in the last six minutes of the game and obviously in overtime. Dallas needs to get an upgrade on defense ASAP.
The gift we need from Santa Jim, is a Robo signing. We don’t need to get anybody. Our team is great. Sign Robo.
Shitter was full.
You didn't just lose… you got 'bitch slapped' by Dylan Larkin.
I guess the Red Wings aren't the Leafs..😬
Risky can’t take that penalty
Oh hey a Stars podcast. My former employer. Good times.
We better get our act together Colorado will sweep us in four if we can't be more consistent!
