2021-22 Division Preview: Can healthy Stars shine bright in the Central?

Two seasons ago, the Dallas Stars were two wins away from their first Stanley Cup in 20 years, and fell just short in their 4-2 series loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Then, COVID delayed the start of the 2020-21 season, and a series of injuries, surgeries and other unlucky happenstances derailed the Stars’ season in the new-look Central before it could even really get started. A near-Calder winning season from rookie Jason Robertson was the bright spot, but absences from Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov and Ben Bishop, a fifth-place finish was a bitter taste after nearly winning it all the season before.
