DLLS Stars Podcast: Wyatt Johnston BREAKS Mike Modano’s PPG Record; Stars Franchise Record Next?

Mikko Rantanen out for multiple weeks due to a lower body injury suffered in the Olympic semifinals? No problem last night, Wyatt Johnston picked up the slack. Johnston scored two goals, eclipsing the 30 goal mark for the season and breaking the Dallas Stars record for most power play goals in a season (19), passing Mike Modano’s 18 as the most since the team relocated to Texas. Now Johnston is just three power play goals behind Dino Ciccarelli’s (22) Stars/North Stars franchise record, with 24 games left to catch and pass that record. The Stars also moved ahead of the idle Minnesota Wild, reclaiming second place in the Central Division. We will discuss the impact of Lian Bichsel’s first NHL game in three months, tenacity brought from the line of Adam Erne-Justin Hryckowian-Colin Blackwell, Jason Robertson’s pursuit of a 50-goal season and more.
