The Dallas Stars have a big age gap with players who have come together for No. 1 seed in the West
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Stars have quite an age gap.
Top goal scorer Wyatt Johnston is only 20 years old, and was a teenager for most of the playoffs last year. On the other end for the Western Conference’s top-seeded team is Joe Pavelski, who will turn 40 this summer and has more points this season than the kid who again is living in his house.
“Joe’s not an old 39-year-old. He stays pretty young with the youth in this group,” six-time All-Star forward Tyler Seguin said. “It’s just cool because we have so many different layers of age in here.”
The 18-year, 10-month gap between the Stars’ youngest and oldest players is the widest among the Western Conference playoff teams by 2 1/2 years, with Edmonton at 16 years and four months. Toronto is the only team going into the postseason with a wider range.
Maple Leafs defenseman Mark Giordano is the lone 40-year-old who will be part of these playoffs. He is 19 years older than teammate Matthew Knies, the forward who shares the same birth month.
