The Stars ended their their three-game losing streak last night with a much-needed 4-2 win over the Canucks. Mike Heika referred to the game as “both meaningless and crucial.”
Both the Stars and Canucks are nearing mathematical elimination from the playoffs, but both are also playing a ton of kids and hoping to see what the future holds. Remi Elie, 21, tallied an assist and now has three points in six NHL games. Esa Lindell, 22, stepped up in the absence of Klingberg and played 23:45. He tallied his sixth goal in 61 games and finished plus-3.
