The big question of the day is do the Dallas Stars trust Nils Lundkvist? Coming off a win over Winnipeg, Lundkvist did not play in the final 15 minutes of the 3rd period which is a cause for concern considering some of the strides he's made this season. Of course Miro Heiskanen is going to chew up most minutes in tight games, but Pete DeBoar is going with Ryan Suter, Jani Hakanpaa and Esa Lindell in close games. Is the emergence of Thomas Harley also the problem? Stars 19 year old prospect in the AHL, Lian Bichsel, is headed back to Sweden. Joey shares Jim Nill's conversation with Saad Yousef from the Athletic and why this could be a good thing in the long run for Dallas. Also, an update on the Texas Stars who are leading the Central Division in the AHL. Finally, we spotlight Joe Pavelski who leads the Stars in scoring this season at 39 years old. The future hall of famer is much more than a presence on the ice, he's leadership will leave a mark on the Stars for years to come.
