Let’s rewind for a minute. The day is March 20, 2018, and the Dallas Stars are preparing for a Tuesday night showdown. Oh, and they are in serious trouble.
The Stars visited the nation’s capital for a date with the Washington Capitals. It was the final matchup of a tumultuous six-game road trip that the Stars had managed to go winless through so far. With one final opportunity to pick up two points and attempt to get their season back on track, the Stars floundered yet again.
Dallas lost 4-3 to Washington even after taking the early lead and fighting back from two deficits.
