Last 10 matches: Dallas 4-3-3; San Jose 5-3-2
No matter how one crunches the numbers, it’s a model of consistent inconsistency for the Stars. They haven’t strung more than two wins together all season. They’re 2-6-5 following a win, but are 11-2-3 after a loss, and are 7-0-1 after a regulation loss. Overtimes are the bane of Big D. With a League-leading 12 games played beyond regulation (tied with the Panthers), they are 3-9 overall, 1-6 in shootouts. This coming from a team that was 32-14 in shootouts entering this season.

As an aside, only two teams in the NHL have not lost two games in a row in regulation. These two.With an even-strength offense as high-powered as the Sharks, sometimes it’s hard to stand out. If anything, forward Ryane Clowe was getting attention for his lone point in his first 10 games. He’s turned that around with seven goals and 12 assists in his last 18 games. Joe Thornton hasn’t scored a goal in seven games, but has 10 assists in that stretch for a League-leading 35 to go with the League lead in points with 42.
Interesting how the Stars pulled out a win a few weeks back versus the Sharks compared to the way they’ve lost their last couple of games. They gave up a three-goal lead to the Ducks on Tuesday, losing 4-3 in overtime. On Sunday they had a two-goal lead over Edmonton on home ice and lost that one in a shootout.

Even funnier how the Sharks did the exact same thing at home on Wednesday. Two-goal lead, the Kings tie the game in the third against the best home penalty kill in the League and take it 5-4 in overtime. No lead seems safe in the Pacific Division these days.
Only the second meeting of six for these Pacific Division rivals, with the two last meeting in San Jose on Nov. 12. The Stars rallied from a two-goal third-period deficit to force a shootout which was decided by Stephane Robidas for a 3-2 victory. It was their first shootout win of the season on their fifth try. Highlights and results will be available soon..
