The Dallas Stars put together a solid performance last night, beating the Los Angeles Kings 5-1. But the story of the game wasn’t the final score against a formidable opponent — it was the blender that head coach Pete (not Kalen) DeBoer put the forward lineup through for the game:
Stars lines in first:
Robertson-Hintz-Johnston
Marchment-Duchene-Seguin
Benn-Steel-Pavelski
Smith-Faksa-DadonovEvery line save the second was shuffled in some way, with Wyatt Johnston and Joe Pavelski swapping spots as well as Sam Steel and Evgeni Dadonov. When asked about it after the game, DeBoer said that while the second line has been consistently good all year, the others have had their ups and downs.
