The Colorado Avalanche have a quick turnaround as they face the Dallas Stars in the second round in Game One tomorrow night in the Lone Star State. Very similar to the Winnipeg Jets in the first round, the strength of the Stars comes from their forward core.
It will be another tough matchup both on paper and on the ice. Hence, we will see who ends up on top of the other in what should be an unstoppable force versus an immovable object. Here’s just a peek at what to expect from Dallas’ forwards.
Projected Lines
Jason Robertson (21) - Roope Hintz (24) - Logan Stankoven (11)
Jamie Benn (14) - Wyatt Johnston (53) - Joe Pavelski (16)
Evgenii Dadanov (63) - Matt Duchene (95) - Tyler Seguin (91)
Radek Faksa (12) - Sam Steel (18) - Craig Smith (15)
Extra Forwards: Mason Marchment (27), Ty Dellandrea (10)
First-line fortitude strength
The first line of the Stars is dangerous with a name some might recognize and others may not.
