Hintz, Robertson and Seguin did not play much together until this series and the Stars seem to mix lines often. They should look at it again, it's not working.
Joe Pavelski has become the key player besides Tanev's injury. He starts to produce the Stars probably win, he provides nothing then the only hope is Oettinger stands on his head or Skinner stinks. Unless they demote Pavelski to the 4th line and get Duchene going. At some point, they need something from that line to win.
Marchment and Duchene have been on the ice for 1 GF each, both were away from their normal linemates and Pavelski stats are just terrible.

No question about it.
If Pavelski shows up as the Joe we've known for two decades then it tips the scales heavily for Dallas.
This is the first time I can recall seeing him ineffective on the ice. The fact that it lines up with facing Edmonton in the WCF is nothing short of comically tragic.
I mean.. are you kidding me? This guy feasted on every one in the west for years. Now he's struggling to draw even against the oilers derpth?
