His name might not appear on the scoresheet as often as players
like Mike Ribeiro or Brenden Morrow, but there's no denying the
impact and influence that Jeff Halpern has on the fortunes of the
Dallas Stars.
As more of a defensive-minded forward who excels in all three
zones, Halpern is usually relied upon to skate head-to-head against
opponents' best players, but still manages to to chip in
offensively as well on occasion.
Recently teamed up with center Mike Modano and abrasive winger
Steve Ott on a forward line, Halpern has caught fire lately,
contributing one goal and six points in his last five games,
including back-to-back multiple-point efforts Dec. 26 and 29
against Minnesota and St. Louis, respectively.
