The Dallas Stars felt Patrick Eaves’ absence, whose trade to the Anaheim Ducks came as a bit of a shock. Eaves was a leader on and off the ice, so nobody in Dallas is quite ready to accept the trade just yet.
Stars forward Devin Shore said that the team was going to have their work cut out for them in order to fill the void.
“It’s a lot of goal scoring and that’s a leader in the locker room, not only for the entire team but especially for us young guys,” Shore said.
