If the Devils were the most obvious first-round exit of the 2025 playoffs due to injury, the Canadiens were right behind them due to youth, strength of opponent, and eventually, injury.

Share Losers: Stars' Confidence Footage of Mikko Rantanen, who was held off the score sheet with a minus-two rating in Game 1, pretty much encapsulates the vibe of the Colorado-Dallas series right now.
