On paper, the Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars are not all that different.
Stars are not all that different.And they both have strong goaltending.
But if you take a deeper look at these two teams, one seems to stand out as the better value in Game 1 and beyond.The Minnesota Wild played to uneven results for the first 50-plus games of the regular season, but they really caught fire with a 16-1-4 run from mid-February through the end of March. Still, it’s worth pointing out that Minnesota’s goaltenders posted an absurd .936 save percentage in that timeframe. As good as Filip Gustavsson has been this season for the Wild,It’s nice if you get it, sure, but to count on it would be playing a dangerous game.
Despite that dip in form at the end of the season, Gustavsson and Fleury would give the Wild a decent goaltending advantage over plenty of teams in the playoffs.
