Another series, another challenge.
After shutting down the Predators' top line during the first round of the playoffs, the Stars shutdown line of Andrew Cogliano, Radek Faksa and Blake Comeau has been served a few different assignments during Dallas' second-round series against St. Louis. In the first four games of the series, they've taken on the top line centered by Ryan O'Reilly and most recently the physical third line highlighted by Pat Maroon.
In a pivotal Game 5 on Friday night at 8:30 p.m. -- with the series tied at 2 and shifting back to St. Louis' Enterprise Center -- they'll be counted on again, whatever matchup Blues interim coach Craig Berube chooses to throw at them.
