This is going to be a flipped script for Dallas. They'll be the ones outplayed the Wild but struggling to get goals behind Gustavsson. Ottenger will be the guy not seeing much action under pressure to make saves without seeing a lot of action.

But without Eriksson-Ek I think the Wild won't have the horses to keep up with Dallas all the way. Stars win in 7, and Dean Evason looks like he wants to kill someone the entire time.

Looking back it's a bit surprising that Dallas was only a 7 seed last year as they have young stud goaltender, young stud #1 defenseman, and a couple of young guys who can score 40 or more up front. Add in some vets like Pavelski, Benn, and Seguin the latter two overpaid but still able to offer something and it's a team that's pretty deep.
