Barstool Sports "The Life" with Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars Full Episode
By Mike Heika , Staff Writer Contact Mike Heika on Twitter:
Veteran Jason Demers is returning from a shoulder injury that kept him out 13 games. He played in the final regular season game and looked rusty, but Ruff said he wanted to trust Demers performance during 62 regular season games.
I had a conversation with him about his game and hes been a big part of our team, Ruff said. He was playing real well before he went out.
But Ruff added that the team has great depth on defense and he wont hesitate to use it. Dallas made Jordie Benn, Patrik Nemeth and Jamie Oleksiak healthy scratches in Game 1.
There is competition. You dont have time to wait for somebody to play well inside a series, Ruff said. We feel weve really got three other defensemen that we can put in the lineup that can be very effective. If he struggles, theres an opportunity for somebody else to step in and fill that void for us.
