Last year on the Thursday before Christmas, the Dallas Stars enjoyed a 4-0 Ben Bishop shutout of the Chicago Blackhawks. Tyler Seguin scored two second period goals
So much for the old lede. John Klingberg received medical clearance to play, and he is in the lineup for tonight’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Other than not playing on the penalty kill, expect Klingberg to be back in his familiar role, with Esa Lindell on his left side. That news, combined with a 2-0 shutout of the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night, has memories of the recent 0-4-0 road trip fading fast.
