The Dallas Stars just need a single point in their last two games in order to secure the first Wild Card spot. So as a precaution, the Stars are resting several players — Jamie Benn, Mats Zuccarello, Roman Polak, and Ben Bishop — tonight as they take on the Chicago Blackhawks.
Bishop is to be expected, given his recent injury, though fans might be concerned to hear Zuccarello listed. But no worries — Zuccarello is a-okay.
“Just maintenance,” [head coach Jim] Montgomery said.
