Players To Watch:
Dallas Stars
Tyler Seguin has been centering Dallas’s second line, with Roope Hintz missing their last 4 games due to injury. He has 5 points this season, and has still been a great part of the depth of the Stars in the last few seasons.
Edmonton Oilers
Stuart Skinner got two wins out of three in Edmonton’s recent three-game homestand, but is barely sporting a .900 SV% in a season where he needs to prove he can be a consistent #1 goalie for his team. Good news, he’s playing against a team he’s helped knock out of Round 3 in the last two postseasons. Better news, Jake Oettinger isn’t expected to start tomorrow. Bad news, the Oilers almost always lose to backup goalies.
