Mattias Janmark is one of the more interesting subjects when it comes to understanding what goes through the mind of a hockey player.
The 27-year-old forward is thoughtful and well-spoken, and he's been through a lot in his career. He missed a full season because of a bone condition called Osteochondritis dissecans, and he has seen his goal scoring drop significantly in the past two seasons.
That makes him a perfect candidate to try to explain the recent scoring problems of the Stars as we ponder the season during the NHL "pause." Janmark has six goals this season. He had six last season. The year before, he had 19. So when asked about the team's scoring problems, Janmark said he still has confidence that he can score goals.
