The Dallas Stars host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night.
Dallas is coming fresh off a trip to the Western Conference Finals and are among the heavy favorites to hoist the Stanley Cup in 2023. The team has its core group back, with a few newcomers added to the squad. Departures: LW Max Domi, C Luke Glendening, D Colin Miller, C Riley Tufte.
Jason Robertson, who just turned 24, was the first Dallas player with a 100-point season , which came after he missed training camp during a contract holdout. Wyatt Johnston tied for the NHL rookie lead with 24 goals, and then turned 20 during the playoffs, when he had game-winning goals two clinching games.: Robertson, Roope Hintz and 39-year-old Joe Pavelski are going into their third season together as the Stars' top scoring line.
Robertson is part of the Stars' standout 2017 draft class with defenseman Miro Heiskanen and starting goaltender Jake Oettinger. Heiskanen's 73 points last season were a franchise record for a defenseman.: Dallas struggled when skating beyond regulation last season. In 3-on-3 overtimes, the Stars went 4-11 and had 14 OT losses overall. Things didn't get much better in the playoffs, even when the extra periods were the usual 5-on-5 play.
Captain Jamie Benn and six-time All-Star Tyler Seguin, once their top scoring options, are now 30-something players who have adjusted to changed roles and are coming off solid seasons. With the added forwards, Dallas could have four full scoring lines.: The 25-year-old Oettinger was 37-11-11 in his first full season as the starting goaltender, then got his first two playoffs series victories.
The new video board is part of an overall $20 million investment in improvements to AAC over the last year, including new seats replacing the arena’s old chairs, exterior digital signage displays, updated roof, and more.
