The Dallas Stars are in Nashville tonight to take on the Predators. It’s the second meeting between the two clubs in the past six days and will serve as the second of three meetings over an 18-day span in February. That’s a lot of action to indulge in against one team over a limited timespan.
And yet, it’s a series that the Stars and Predators openly and even excitedly welcome, from the players and coaches to the front offices and fan bases. In fact, it’s a slate that the rest of the NHL is keeping an eye on.
