If there was ever an important time for the Dallas Stars to get their power play rolling against the Nashville Predators, it was during Game 4 on Wednesday night. And when the call came, they answered.
It all started just 3:01 into the first period when the Mattias Ekholm was called for a hi-sticking penalty against Blake Comeau. The Predators dropped into a shorthanded situation, but that was nothing new for them. And after a relatively easy path through the previous two games, it didn’t seem as though it would be a challenge for them, either.
