DALLAS — The Dallas Stars finally get a little bit of a breather after avoiding another Game 7 on the way to their second Western Conference final in a row. The top-seeded Stars knocked out the last two Stanley Cup champions while playing 13 games in 26 nights. The last one stretched past midnight into early Saturday, when Matt Duchene's game-winning goal in double overtime ended Game 6 at 2022 champion Colorado. Dallas began these playoffs with a seven-game series over Vegas, which last year beat the Stars in the West final and then won the Stanley Cup. Dallas will host Game 1 next Thursday against Edmonton or Vancouver.
