Dallas Stars’ playoff exit sparks questions about lost defensive identity and critical missed adjustments. Can Glenn Gulutzan's squad regroup for a deeper run next season? Joey Erickson breaks down how defensive lapses, struggles in front of the net, and a lack of sustained five-on-five pressure doomed the Stars against the Minnesota Wild, despite standout efforts from Jake Oettinger and Miro Heiskanen—who battled through a torn oblique.

Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars battle for the #2 seed heats up, as Mikko Rantanen’s injury threatens to reshape home-ice advantages in the Western Conference playoff race. Are the Wild’s daring Quinn Hughes acquisition and the Stars’ thin scoring depth enough to shift postseason fortunes?
