🏈Cowboys: After strengthening their offense this offseason, the Cowboys need to make some serious defensive additions during the NFL Draft. We’re expecting the ’Boys to take Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain II with the 10th overall pick, but if we’ve learned anything about owner Jerry Jones, it’s to expect the unexpected.

  • And if those sugar plum visions of tight end Kyle Pitts in a Dallas uniform come true, we’ll happily wait until the later rounds for some defensive reinforcements. Only time will tell.

🏒Stars: After Monday’s thrilling overtime win, the Stars looked like a completely different team on Tuesday, falling 5–1 to the Carolina Hurricanes. Yeesh. But there’s still playoff hope: the Stars are just two points out of fourth place (and the final playoff spot) in the Central Division with seven games remaining.

  • The playoff hunt continues tonight at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT against the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning. But Saturday’s 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT game against the Nashville Predators is the one to watch.

It could mark the long awaited return of center Tyler Seguin, who led the Stars in points last season but has been out with a hip injury all year. Baby come back.
