Since the beginning of the season, this Dallas Stars team has been the group that was built for the playoffs. Well, playoffs are here, and that group finds itself in a 2-1 deficit to the Calgary Flames going into a pivotal Game 4.
Joe Pavelski has delivered to a large degree over the last few games. He has centered a second line that has been dominant in shot share, and he’s managed to hit the scoresheet at opportune times.
Likewise, Corey Perry has been noticeable. His perfect pass to Jamie Oleksiak brought the team back from the edge of the cliff at the end of Game 2.
