The Stars brought in Dez Bryant to get the players amped up before taking on the Lightning

Why are the Saints rolling the dice on Dez with the team playing so well?



It’s been a couple of weeks since Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn were called out by Dallas Stars CEO Jim Lites but the team has been holding their own as they entered Tuesday night’s action in third spot in the Central Division.

The Stars went on to win three of their next four games after Lites’ comments, but have now lost three of their last four games and entered Tuesday’s tilt with the Lightning on a two-game losing skid. Looking to get the guys a little more amped up than usual before their game against the NHL’s top team, the Stars brought in former Dallas Cowboy and current New Orleans Saints receiver Dez Bryant to read the starting lineup and get the guys going.



Considering it’s the first time Bryant has been to a hockey game he ended up getting an experience of a lifetime that included a meet and greet with the players inside the room before the game, as well as getting to read out the starting lineup.



The three-time Pro Bowler also had the best seat in the house during the pre-game warm-ups as he got to take it all in from the Stars’ bench.

Bryant signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal with the New Orleans Saints on November 7 but never got to suit up with his new team as his season came to an end two days later when he tore his Achilles tendon during practice.
