The Dallas Stars rolled into Motor City tonight looking for their first win of the season. The Detroit Red Wings, who won last night in Nashville, were just looking to keep the ball rolling in a season that isn’t expected to be anything stellar. Both teams are on the second half of a back-to-back but one definitely has more cause to be worn out than the other.
The Stars have had a lot of rough patches in the early going. Their recent acquisition from Anaheim has yet to make his Stars debut, and they lost Roman Polak, Jason Dickinson, and Blake Comeau to injury in the first game of the season.
