With an 18-year, 10-month gap between the Stars’ youngest and oldest players, there is quite an age gap for the Western Conference champion Dallas Stars.
Dallas Stars have a big age gap with players who have come together for No. 1 seed in the WestTop 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.
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. Leading scorer Jason Robertson , standout defenseman Miro Heiskanen and goaltender Jake Oettinger were all taken by Dallas in the first 39 picks of the 2017 draft. Four players drafted by the Stars since are part of the current run: Ty Dellandrea, Thomas Harley and forwards Johnston and Stankoven, their top two picks in 2021 who now skate primarily on a line with captain Jamie Benn, a 2007 draft pick who is 34.
