With no real rest, the Dallas Stars will host Colorado on Tuesday, a much different team from Vegas even though the Avs won the Stanley Cup the year before...
Dallas Stars center Joe Pavelski fights for the puck against Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Noah Hanifin during the third period in Game 7 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series on Sunday, May 5, 2024, in Dallas.There’s no better way to ignite a run toward the Stanley Cup than by not only having to prove yourselves against the defending champs but doing it after starting in an 0-2 hole.
Put it this way. Dallas and Vegas each scored 16 goals in the tightest seven-game series you will ever see where every goal was huge, where scoring chances were things to cherish. The Avalanche has been waiting patiently for this series to end after disposing of Winnipeg in five games. Colorado outscored the Jets 27-15 in the first round.
The Stars’ depth allows DeBoer to spread the scoring talent among three lines , but Dallas has to nail a higher percentage of its scoring chances than it did against Vegas. When chances come Jamie Benn’s or Matt Duchene’s way as they did ever so briefly in Game 7, they can’t fire high and wide. Colorado even sports a hot goalie in Alexandar Georgiev, who won four straight while holding the Jets to eight goals in the last four games after losing a wild 7-6 opener.
