20/20: Hintz and Johnston push Stars in charge past Blues

The 20/20 is back and let's have some fun with it.

The Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 on Sunday in a nationally-televised game.

It was a statistically weir game. While one team double up the other in goals, the Blues had double the number of shots.

Anyways, let’s get into the 20/20.

1. We’ll talk more about Roope Hintz on some specific goals later, but I think it’s worth bringing him up at the top.

After effectively no-showing in the first game out of the 4 Nations Face-Off Break, Hintz has been on more of a playmaking tear with.

Hintz has nine assists in his past four games, including four on Friday and three in this game.

As someone who has publicly talked about Hintz’ need for offensive consistency, this four-game stretch could potentially be the launching point that changes a narrative.

2. Wyatt Johnston record his third career hat trick and all three goals were scored in very typical Wyatt Johnston fashion.

And by that I mean, he’s not flashy and dashy. Johnston is just one of the most cerebral players in the NHL and understands when and where to arrive to make the right play.
