Stars beat the Wild last night in regulation 5-4, which all but seals home ice for round 1 and all other WC opponents save Colorado. If last night's game is a preview of round 1, not sure that the team left standing will have much left in the tank for round 2. Also the stars get more bad news. Heiskanen is having an MRI today. I really hope that is precautionary. and Roope Hintz might not be ready for the playoffs. Hintz is their 2nd best center iceman behind Wyatt Johnston. I would have always put Hintz ahead of Johnston, but I think Johnston has clearly surpassed him at this point. There are a few other Stars players that are coming back from injury which is good. one of their top penalty killers, olympian R. Faksa, is coming back.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
