A few scheduling quirks have the Dallas Stars playing the Vegas Golden Knights after a five day layoff. Practice may be a good thing in the long run, but with an extended preseason, followed by a single game prior to a west coast road trip, Head Coach Pete DeBoer opted for a team building weekend in the Palm Springs area.
Now comes the hard part – taking on a Vegas team with three 4-1 victories under their belts. Admittedly, two of those wins were against the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks, but the season opening 4-1 win over the Seattle Kraken shouldn’t be taken lightly.
