NHL Streak Watch
NHL Streak Watch, Dallas Stars's Run Hits 3
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of NHL off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
Count them up and three teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The teams stacking wins
The longest active run belongs to Dallas Stars: three consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Montreal Canadiens are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
Going the wrong way
On the other side of the ledger, Ottawa Senators have dropped three straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.
One more thing
A 3-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
The schedule cooperates, too, Dallas Stars face Minnesota Wild next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
