When the Dallas Stars secured a dominant 5-1 win against the Nashville Predators in Game 4, there was little time to celebrate.
Sure, they had just picked up a big win on home ice. And yes, they had two days off before getting back to action.
But with the series being tied at 2-2 and shifting back to Bridgestone Arena for a critical Game 5, it was still very much anyone’s series. And with Nashville getting home ice advantage back, there was plenty of reason to believe that they would come out swinging and make things difficult on Dallas.
