Gameday: Dallas Stars (1-0) at Avalanche (0-1)

Our gameday package from the paper is here.

Avs coach Patrick Roy used his fourth line — particularly center John Mitchell (15:45) — more than the third line in Thursday’s 5-4 collapse against Minnesota. Third-line wingers Mikko Rantanen (7:24) and Borna Rendulic (7:09) weren’t used much later in the game because of their lack of experience. Roy talked about those guys in Saturday morning’s press conference:

Not much going on at the Pepsi Center this morning. Same drill as Thursday: only scratched players (F Mikhail Grigorenko, D Brad Staurt, D Brandon Gormley) skated.
