With a likely Stars-Avalanche first round in the cards, GMs Jill Nill and Chris MacFarland spoke to The Athletic about their deadline moves.

Mikko Rantanen has found a familiar home in Dallas, thanks to the Stars’ strong Finnish presence.

The Stars have reportedly reached an agreement with the Hurricanes to acquire Mikko Rantanen before the NHL Trade Deadline.
