The TV home of the Dallas Stars, Victory+, announced on Tuesday that the streaming service achieved a new viewership record during the March 8 matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. More than 165,000 digital-only viewers tuned in to watch the Stars take on the Oilers in what was the debut of newly-acquired blockbuster trade asset, Mikko Rantanen.
The Cowboys and Rangers missed out on the playoffs, and the Mavericks traded away superstar Luka Doncic and lost point guard Kyrie Irving to a season-ending torn ACL. But through it all, one Dallas team has kept rolling, giving the city hope that another championship could be just around the corner.
In the meantime, the Stars (39-19-2) will continue to go with what they have and have added. They are 6-2-1 since acquiring Granlund and Ceci and find themselves in second place in both the Central Division and Western Conference, eight points back of the Winnipeg Jets.
