The 2017 NHL Prospect Tournament, held as always in Traverse City, Michigan, kicked off on Friday afternoon, with a group of Dallas Stars youngsters taking on a similar Columbus Blue Jackets squad in the tournament’s opening match.
Things didn’t go according to plan for Dallas, however, as they fell into a hole just minutes into the game and were never able to dig themselves out, falling by an eventual score of 7-2. The sixth goal was an empty-netter and the seventh followed immediately after.
Niklas Hansson and Nick Caamano had the Stars goals, while netminder Landon Bow took the loss in net.
