Dallas Stars

A divisional opponent who figures to wake up from their slumber next season is the Stars. It’s puzzling to understand how they’re a bottom dweller right now. Their offseason has been a productive one, and it all starts with bring back Ken Hitchcock as head coach.

With Hitchcock at the helm, the Stars are going to be much better than their 86 points last season that left them out of the playoff picture. The addition o goaltender Ben Bishop will give them stability in that area, and they still have a potent offensive scoring attack.

The Stars are another obstacle the Predators will have to prepare for to battle for playoff positioning.
