Will Dallas Test Its Defensive Depth?
Byline: Christopher Tanev, News Daily Faceoff
Tanev's Health Puts Stars In Position To See If Their Depth Will Hold Up
The Dallas Stars are getting ready to put their defense to the test. The team traded for veteran defenseman Chris Tanev last season, bringing him in to help bolster their defensive depth. However, Tanev is now dealing with an injury, and it's unclear if he'll be able to play in the upcoming game.
If Tanev can't play, the Stars will have to rely on their other defensemen to step up. This could be a challenge, as the Stars don't have a lot of experienced depth on their blue line. They'll need some of their younger players to step up and play big minutes if they want to make a deep playoff run.
The Stars are hoping that Tanev will be able to play, but they're also preparing for the possibility that he won't be able to. If he can't play, the Stars will have to find a way to replace his minutes and his leadership on the ice. It won't be easy, but it's something that the Stars will have to do if they want to make a deep playoff run.
