4. Mar. 17, Vs. Dallas Stars

Despite getting off to a slow start and then having to deal with the controversy of losing Head Coach Jim Montgomery due to off-ice matters, the Dallas Stars have rebounded from a bucketload of adversity nicely.

The Stars currently sit third in the Central and look a lock for the playoffs, although they are currently on a five-game skid.

They have been blanked in back-to-back games as their offense sputters down the stretch, and there is cause for concern there.

However, despite their recent struggles, the Stars are a loaded and talented team and it shouldn’t be long before they figure things out.

Cream always rises to the top, after all.

And, as a result, the Golden Knights will have to guard against complacency when they lock horns against the Stars in what will be their homecoming at T-Mobile Arena after this road trip.

The Stars will be a desperate hockey team, especially after this recent stretch, and both teams can’t afford to keep dropping games.

Therefore, this is all set up to be a huge contest for both the Golden Knights and the Stars and it could prove to be a real track meet given the firepower these teams boast.
