Heika's Take: With preseason over, answers become clearer for Stars
Holtby and Khudobin appear to be the battery in goal, Seguin and Radulov are ready to roll and Peterson looks to be the real deal
by Mike Heika @MikeHeika / Senior Staff Writer
As repetitious as repetitions can be, the Stars seemed to have done a lot of good this preseason.
Yes, they had a 3-2-2 preseason record after Saturday's 4-2 loss at Colorado, but we all know the purpose of the exhibition schedule isn't always to take a victory. If you can win, sure, it feels great, but the real goal is to answer some questions and make some progress.
