Dallas Stars<\/a> head coach Glen Gulutzan pointed to a specific mistake he saw from his team Saturday after losing 2-0 to the Colorado Avalanche<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During his news conference after the game, Gulutzan said he believes his team let several opportunities slip by, noting it is something they must learn from heading into the playoffs.<\/p>\n

“Both teams were running down a little bit just because it was heavy checking,” Gulutzan began explaining<\/a>. “When that’s the case, when it’s tight checking, you’re waiting for somebody to win a battle and make a play.”<\/p>\n

“And as I said, they did it first. They did it first. And, you know, that’s the key: holding on to pucks, winning a battle, and getting something to the net. I thought we had a few opportunities we passed up, too. So that’s something you can learn from.”<\/p>\n

Stars coach wants team to ‘manufacture’ offense after being shut out by Avs<\/p>\n

Gulutzan acknowledged that generating offense at 5-on-5 will become increasingly difficult as they approach playoff games, but insisted they will work on “manufacturing” it.<\/p>\n

“I mean, 5-on-5 offense is going to dry up a lot here in the next… And so you’ve got to find a way to manufacture, you know, you win the 5-on-5 game 1-0, and they did it tonight, and in the future we’ve got to have to do it too,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Dallas had just returned to the win column with a 3-0 victory over Philadelphia before falling to Colorado on Saturday. Up next, Gulutzan’s side will host Calgary at American Airlines Center on Tuesday, April 7, at 6 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n
