There’s been no first-round series more intense and entertaining than the clash between the Stars and the Wild, two teams that were somewhat unlucky to meet in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, considering they were both among the top three squads in the West.
So far, the series has delivered some sensational battles. The first four games were split, with both teams picking up two wins apiece. Now, the series shifts back to Dallas for a hugely important Game 5, the winner of which will be just one victory away from clinching a spot in the second round, where a matchup with the Avalanche awaits. Colorado disposed of the Kings in four games, so they’ll be well rested heading into round two.
