The Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights are no strangers to high-stakes matchups, having faced off in the playoffs three times in the last five seasons. The two rivals hit the ice Friday as Dallas looks to rebound, having lost four of its last six games following a seven-game winning streak.
How to watch: Note the early puck drop at 6:30 pm from the AAC with the national broadcast on ESPN. As always, listen to the radio call on The Ticket.
These two teams have a rich playoff history. The Stars claimed a thrilling seven-game series in the first round last season, while the Golden Knights eliminated Dallas the year before in the Western Conference Finals.
