Jason Robertson, the top scorer for the Dallas Stars, is set to miss the start of the playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche due to a lower-body injury. This injury, sustained during the regular-season finale, leaves the Stars with a significant gap in their lineup as they prepare for Game 1 of the playoffs. With injuries having plagued the team throughout the season, Robertson being sidelined adds to the challenges they face. The Stars are entering the playoffs shorthanded, and the absence of their key contributor raises concerns about their competitiveness against a formidable Avalanche team.
