The Stars are being investigated by the league for a possible CBA violation over the holiday break, report Michael Russo and Joe Smith of The Athletic (subscription link). Head coach Peter DeBoer indicated on Friday that there was an optional skate held on Thursday. However, teams aren’t permitted to hold any sort of on-ice sessions with players between December 24th and 26th with this skate being held on the 26th. The league sent a memo to all 32 teams on Monday reminding them of the rule prohibiting travel or ice time. Back in 2022, Toronto was fined $100K for violating the travel portion of the rule so if the league levies a penalty to Dallas following their investigation, it’s likely to be at or above that amount.
