2016 has barely started, but it feels like the calendar still hasn’t turned over for the New York Rangers. They win one, lose a few, win one and think they’re back on track, lose a few. Rinse, repeat.
Their opponents, the Dallas Stars, are as good as it gets in the NHL. Their 60 points not only lead the Central Division, it leads the entire league. They’ve been struggling a bit of late, though, going 5-3-2 over their last 10 games.
The Stars are led by the league’s most dynamic duo in Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin.
