After taking Sunday off, the Dallas Stars were back on the ice Monday for practice, preparing for their first-round playoff series against Nashville.
When the Stars hit the ice against the Predators Wednesday night at Bridgestone Arena (8:30 p.m. CT; FS-SW, USA Network; KTCK), they'll be playing their first postseason game since 2016.
"The hunger is there," said Stars center Tyler Seguin. "Sitting on your couch in April all those years in a row, it doesn't feel good. You don't like watching; you want to be playing. Most of the times in the first round I am not even watching because I am still angry about the regular season. It's nice to be playing and competing this year."
