"They’re one of the deepest teams in the league. ... That top line of theirs is as good as any in the league, all the way through their D-core and goaltending," Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said of the Stars. "We obviously have to turn the page really quickly from the Colorado series." "I thought did an unbelievable job jumping in that spot," Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. "If we can put Pav in a different spot, that makes us better. If that first line can continue to play the way they did against Minnesota then, I think, that allows us to be a deeper team with Pav on one of the other lines."The road team won each time when Seattle and Dallas played their three regular-season games over an 11-day span in March.
