Dallas Sends Reinforcements to Texas Stars Amid Playoff Struggles
The Texas Stars, the Dallas Stars' minor league team, are losing in their playoff series.
To help them out, the Dallas Stars sent down two players, Alexander Petrovic and Ben Kraws.
Petrovic plays defense, and he even played in some NHL playoff games this year.
Kraws is a goalie.
The Texas Stars are hoping these players can help them win, but it might be too late since they are already losing badly.
The move happened after the Dallas Stars' NHL season ended.
The Texas Stars are down 0-2 in the Western Conference Finals against the Abbotsford Canucks.
The Dallas Stars sent defenseman Alexander Petrovic and goaltender Ben Kraws to the Texas Stars.
Petrovic played in the NHL playoffs this season.
Kraws was the third-string goalie for Dallas during their playoff run.
The move is seen as a last-ditch effort to salvage the series.
