The 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs have treated the Dallas Stars to an adventurous rollercoaster through the first three games of their opening round series. And after the rollercoaster that they endured through 82 games in the 2018-19 regular season, it seems only fitting that the ride continues through the postseason.
And continue it has. Following some final juggling of the standings on the final day of the season, the Stars clinched the first wild card spot with a 3-0 win over the Minnesota Wild. Around the same time that they clinched, the Nashville Predators secured the Central division title, setting themselves up to meet Dallas in round one.
