The Texas Stars’ season starts Friday. The AHL affiliate for Dallas, the T-Stars have a collection of talent that went to the Calder Cup Final last season. That was on the back of Mike McKenna, a veteran AHL goaltender capable of great things. In the playoffs, McKenna posted a .927 save percentage and 2.41 goals against average.
Travis Morin, like McKenna, is an AHL veteran. He’s been one of the best players in the AHL for the past nine years. He’s never been able to convert his skillset to the NHL, however, but has been at a point-per-game pace or better twice and once scored 88 points in 66 games.
