The Dallas Stars had a handful of huge roster decisions to make before opening night, and almost all of them were between the pipes. Now they’ve made clear what many fans had already surmised.
Braden Holtby and Anton Khudobin will begin the 2021-22 NHL season as the team’s tandem of choice. Jake Oettinger, whose stellar performance in the abbreviated 2021 season showed him as the clear future No. 1, will be the man to watch in Cedar Park. And Ben Bishop, whose return could both create and solve a number of challenges in and of itself, is officially on long-term injured reserve.
