The last time the Dallas Stars rolled into Pittsburgh’s PPG arena, the date was March 11th, 2018 and the Stars had just come off a very good win against the Anaheim Ducks at the American Airlines Center. The Stars were in a playoff spot and had already taken care of the defending champions a month prior in a stimulating shootout victory. When the final horn sounded that evening, the Stars would be 3-1 losers to the Penguins, starting an historic slide from playoff contention with 8 consecutive losses.
Tonight, the Stars return to the scene where the final, traumatic act of the 2017-18 season began.
