In years past, the IIHF World Championship has been a breeding ground for success for many Dallas Stars players.
From John Klingberg and Mattias Janmark winning a gold medal with Sweden in the 2018 Championship, to Klingberg also adding a gold in 2017, to Esa Lindell scoring a silver medal with Finland in 2016, and even the trio of Cody Eakin, Jason Spezza, and Tyler Seguin winning gold with Canada in 2015, it’s provided various Stars with an opportunity to compete and battle with their home countries for a little bit of hardware.
