Dallas Stars vs Toronto Maple Leafs Preview 3. Stop Matthews and Marner

There are two players that the Stars need to focus on if they want to slow down the Maple Leafs on the ice tonight. Those players i’m talking about are Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. The Stars need to knock these two into the boards or onto their butts because every time they touch the puck, they can score. Miro Heiskanen and John Klingberg need to knock these two players out cold.

Dallas Stars vs Toronto Maple Leafs Preview 2. Don’t give the Leafs a power play

The last thing that the Stars need to do tonight is commit stupid penalties. The Maple Leafs have a lot of talented scorers on their power play line. Giving them the extra man advantage would be a disaster for the Stars. If the Stars can stay off the penalty kill tonight against the Leafs, they have a good shot at winning the game and getting two more points.

Dallas Stars vs Toronto Maple Leafs Preview 1. Ride the home crowd momentum

The Stars have some home games this month and what better way to reward the fans that attend is by winning. Stars need to show the DFW Metroplex that they can be that team that can go deep into the playoffs this month. All the Stars need to do is ride the momentum and put on a show for the fans.
