Stars Cancel Watch Party Out of Respect for Victims of Texas Mall Shooting

Dallas Stars canceled a watch party planned during their road playoff game Sunday night
The decision was made out of respect for the victims, families, and community of Allen, where an assailant killed eight people the previous day
Allen Premium Outlets, a sprawling outdoor shopping center, is about 14 miles from the Stars' practice facility and offices that are in Frisco, Texas
Coach Pete DeBoer said the team was "heartbroken" about the mass shooting and acknowledged that it was difficult to think about playing a game after something like that
The Stars and Seattle Kraken split the first two games of their best-of-seven series that were played at the AAC in Dallas on Tuesday and Thursday nights
