With the 2019 Trade Deadline officially in the past, there’s nothing left standing between the Dallas Stars and the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs besides 20 games. Take that in for a moment.
The last week has been a bit of a whirlwind for the franchise. Last Tuesday, the Stars opened up a three-game homestand at the American Airlines Center against the Nashville Predators. They fell short of picking up two valuable points, but put up an admirable fight in a 5-3 defeat. The loss was an encouraging one, especially considering that the struggling Dallas offense scored three goals after being shut out in their previous two contests.
