For the purpose of this article, a Black Ace is a player that the Stars will be including in their expanded Stanley Cup Playoff roster. A Black Ace wouldn’t regularly have been featured in the standard roster and therefore is most likely a minor/junior league call-up.
The term “Black Ace” was once used negatively. The term originated from Eddie Shore, who would refer to spare players as a “Black Ace.” Shore would say that a team would be in bad shape if they had to use one of their Black Aces in a game.
