Didn’t we just leave this party? The Dallas Stars meet the St. Louis Blues in Round 2, beginning tonight at 8:30 p.m. CDT, and like any good game, it’s going to get harder now. Given the recent playoffs history between the two teams, the task ahead looms almost preternaturally large.
But will it be as hard as the NHL.com coverage would have you believe? Mark Stepneski took a long look at the matchup over at Stars Inside Edge:
The Stars were hit hard by injuries early in the season, especially on defense, but were able to keep their heads above water thanks to players such as Esa Lindell, Miro Heiskanen, and Roman Polak stepping up and AHL call-ups filling holes.
