The series gets underway tonight in Dallas.

They face each other in the first round of the NHL playoffs when Central Division rivals Minnesota and Dallas open their best-of-7 series Monday night in Dallas "He's an amazing player,” Kaprizov said of Robertson, the 23-year-old who this season became Dallas’ first 100-point scorer . “He gets opportunities from nothing.”
Neither Dallas, going into the postseason on a six-game winning streak, nor Minnesota made it out of the first round of the playoffs last year. Robertson scored only one goal in seven games against Calgary. Kaprizov, who would turn 26 during this series if it goes past five games, had seven goals in a six-game loss to St. Louis. It was the Wild's sixth consecutive loss in the opening round.
“Just that poise and that confidence and swagger he’s had over the past couple of years that he’s developed is something that is an advantage for us, especially after last year’s playoffs,” Robertson said. "I’m sure he’ll have that same type of swagger.”Before moving south to Dallas in 1993, the Stars called Minnesota home and were the North Stars. The expansion Wild’s first season was 2000-01.
