The Dallas Stars drew the Minnesota Wild in the first round, and Ryan, Chris, and James are here to break down every major storyline heading into the series. They discuss Miro Heiskanen’s injury and how much his availability could swing the matchup, whether Jake Oettinger can rise to the moment, and why Minnesota’s goaltending may be one of the biggest concerns for Dallas.

They also examine the Wild’s improved lineup, Dallas’ edge on special teams and in the faceoff circle, and the key factors that could decide the series. It’s a full first-round playoff preview from a Stars fan perspective, with plenty of analysis, concern, and cautious optimism.
