The Dallas Stars gave up a 3-2 heartbreaker to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. It may have been especially tough for Julius Honka fans; the young D-man was on the ice for Nathan MacKinnon’s second-period goal and sat for 13 minutes because of it.
The Stars’ young D-corps is facing tremendous pressure as well as unprecedented opportunity, and Jim Montgomery knows it, writes Mike Heika:
Montgomery said he is well aware of the battles each player is fighting, and that he wants to help them by giving them opportunities to prove themselves.
