After head coach Jim Montgomery went coy about his starter to kickoff the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for his Dallas Stars, the day has finally arrived and we have an answer. Ben Bishop will be in net tonight when the puck drops at 8:30 PM CDT.
For most teams, that wouldn’t even be much of a storyline. Going with the starter is an assumption 98% of teams make as they kickoff the postseason. Dallas, on the other hand, has a little bit of a luxury with both Bishop and Anton Khudobin having excellent seasons.
