The Stars are rolling with 5 wins in their last 6 games. Host Gavin Spittle is joined by NHL Insider Sean Shapiro to talk about the hot streak they're on. Sean gives a lot of credit to Casey DeSmith in Thursday's 7-0 shutout against Montreal. The guys discuss the Stars' coaching staff and the success so far this season for the team, especially with the injuries the Stars have faced this year. They debate whether the Stars' power play success is more the player talent or the coaching. After a long, successful road trip, the Stars return home Saturday to face the Flyers. Sean and Gavin discuss the trap game theory for the first game back at home after a road trip. It's a jam-packed Friday edition of Spits and Suds!
