The Dallas Stars are entering the 2025-26 season as one of the NHL's most feared teams, and one advanced statistic from last year perfectly explains why their offense is so lethal.
They aren't just winning games with depth and talent - they've mastered a simple, repeatable formula that crushes opponents.
NHL EDGE tracking data from last season shows the Stars dominated high-danger scoring areas, turning those chances into goals at an elite rate.
And with their entire core returning, including a full season of Mikko Rantanen, this trend could get even scarier for the rest of the league.
Dallas Stars lead NHL in high-danger goals thanks to elite forward depth
The Stars scored a league-high 150 goals from high-danger areas last season, according to Breakaway on SI.
Wyatt Johnston led the charge with 22 goals from those prime spots.
Jason Robertson followed with 18, placing him in the 94th percentile among NHL forwards.
Roope Hintz matched Robertson's total, while Matt Duchene added 14.
Mikko Rantanen also proved dangerous, firing 65 high-danger shots to rank in the 91st percentile league-wide.
It wasn't just the forwards.
Dallas defensemen ranked sixth among NHL blue lines in high-danger goals and posted a 28.1% shooting percentage from those areas - the third-best mark in the league.
Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, and Thomas Harley all played crucial roles in activating from the back end to support the attack.
Personally, I think the most dangerous part of this is how simple their approach is.
They go to the right areas, win battles, and finish plays - a strategy that's hard to defend when you have this much skill.
With the same offensive core intact, the Stars are poised to keep punishing opponents in the exact spots that matter most.
