The Minnesota Wild will face the Dallas Stars tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The Wild are 0-9 in their past nine playoff series and have not advanced past the first round since 2015, though this time they have elite defenseman Quinn Hughes after a December trade.
An NCAA committee on Thursday recommended that Football Bowl Subdivision teams move up the start of their season to play a 12-game schedule over 14 weeks beginning in 2027.
The change would require approval by the Division I Cabinet, which is scheduled to discuss the recommendation in June.
Two built-in open dates also would allow more rest for players, which has been a concern for teams advancing in the CFP.
