Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 251: Round 1, Game 3

Wes and Mark can talk about more than Wyatt Johnston, you know. Welcome to another After Dark edition.

The Dallas Stars are in the series against the Golden Knights now, in large part because Wyatt Johnston can put the team on his back now that he’s (almost) old enough to partake of adult beverages.

But what will they need to quiet the house in Vegas again? Well, for starters, Wes and Mark would like a sixth defenseman who can get more than eight minutes a game. But they have a wish list, and they’ll gladly share it with you – at the low, low price of about 36 minutes of your time.

You can’t sacrifice Round 1 while you’re planning for Round 2. Play the game in front of you. Let’s go Stargazing – brought to you, as always, by BetOnline.

Goals (In Net) – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

If there's one thing the Dallas Stars don't have to worry about, it's their tandem in net. But what do fans expect to see from Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith in 2026-27? In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark talk about the synergy between the net and the blueline, the importance of staying healthy (and how much that's worth paying for), the factors that stats can't seem to capture, the Him vs. Dog of it all, and ever so much more. Really, who cares about save percentage? We're Stargazing, and we'd rather get credit for the wins. Let’s talk about it at Defending Big D.
