Playoffs, here they come...? After a soporific start, last night’s Dallas Stars - Minnesota Wild game got as serious as a late-midseason Central Division game ought to be. And ultimately, the Victory Green gang looked the part of a top-three team in the #MurderDeathKill Division as they beat their rivals 3-1.
What’s next for the Stars as we enter NHL trade deadline month? The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks says it’s time to refocus – and buy for need:
The Stars, armed with a stout defense and strong goaltending, shut out the Wild at even strength on Friday night, and Ben Bishop’s only blemish was a power-play goal allowed in the second period.
