Special teams work at the AAC caused some odd-looking line combinations as the Stars prepared to take on the Vancouver Canucks.
The Dallas Stars enter game 10 of the regular season in a very good place, getting off to the generally fast start they'd hoped for (at least thus far) while showing off improved goaltending and a still-potent offense.
The Vancouver Canucks are also playing quite well, sitting in second in the Pacific Division with only two regulation losses of their own so far. Given that, one could easily argue that the Stars were preparing for their most difficult Western Conference opponent so far as they took their Thursday morning skate at the American Airlines Center.
