When the Dallas Stars take on the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at American Airlines Center, it’ll feel a lot like looking in the mirror.
Both teams are pacing fairly close to each other in terms of offense, possession metrics, defense, and goaltending. Dallas holds a slight edge in special teams, being more potent on the power play and more stringent on the penalty kill.
With as hot as both goaltenders have been for their respective teams, a goaltending dual tonight is not outside the realm of possibility. Both Ben Bishop and Scott Darling sit near the top of the league in goals against averages.
