One of the NHL's best teams added a superstar at the NHL trade deadline. Could the high-scoring winger be the missing piece to put Dallas over the top?

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 veteran forward, acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Carolina Hurricanes, is joining a team that already boasts several of his countrymen—a connection Stars forward Matt Duchene has dubbed the ‘Finnish Mafia.’

Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving debunked any rumors or speculation about why he may or may not have torn his ACL. On Saturday morning, Irving shared this post on his personal Instagram account following his ACL injury.

The Dallas Mavericks just can't seem to catch a break. During their 125-116 loss to the Phoenix Suns, the already-depleted Mavericks lost two more stars, as Kessler Edwards and Dwight Powell collided with each other pretty hard and had to be taken out of the game.
