Stars Looking to Even up Series on the Road
The road team has won each of the last five playoff games between the Stars and Golden Knights and that’s great news in Game 4 for Dallas, which also had the best record among NHL teams on the road this season at 26-10-5. Their special teams was excellent all year in road games, with a 26.4 power-play percentage and 82.7 penalty kill success rate, both of which were better than their home percentages.
