The statistician view would suggest the Stars are due for an unholy tear of dominance for a 2 month period as they revert to the expected mean. The philosophical view could argue that one can't account for the gestalt of human variables.
I prefer statistics.
It doesn't mean I'm not worried though. As you said in your article, I believe the Stars can have a good PP, but the fact that Spott has made no tangible changes for effectively the entire season is infuriating.
With Miro Quarterbacking the PP ( Lousy shot , Passes too much ,Too slow )…….. Stars will go 0 for 6 IMO . There is ZERO chance of any improvement on the PP without ONE some major change.
Each team with a shot in the central has a seemingly fatal flaw to balance out another team. Colorado is too top heavy while Minnesota might need one more big name. Winnipeg has a hot start but will they be limping to the finish vs Dallas has the elements but will they harmonize by seasons end.
Each team can work, but will also have to face the winners of the pacific that may be harder than the winners of the east.
If the Stars can get the first like banging on all cylinders, I think everything else will fall into place. Hintz has been playing well, Bourque looked good for one game and last game, Robo sure looked like he's finally moving past what's been ailing him. Those three start dominating 5-on-5, the PP will follow. And by drawing their opponents attention, it'll create some space for Johnston. Stanky? Well he's a rookie doing rookie things. Again a functional first line will create space for him to find his game. As for Bischel, with all the side eye he was throwing last game, I foresee his first fight coming tonight.

Apparently Kaprizov is out with injury tonight?
