Happy discount chocolate day! The Preds are hoping for a sweet treat in tonight’s matchup against the Central-Division-leading Dallas Stars.
After a swingy January marked by big wins and the occasional big loss, the Stars have evened out and played closer games recently. Matt Duchene is second on the team in goals (19), assists (31), and points (50), trailing Jason Robertson in assists and points (36 and 54, respectively) and Roope Hintz in goals (23).
The Stars are having a great season, with a powerhouse offense and great 5v5 defense that’s suffered from some bad goaltending. Hintz is an exceptional play-driver even on a strong team, while players like Robertson and Radek Faksa are absolutely shutdown defensively, and defender Miro Heiskanen is just all-around amazing.
