Game preview: Stars send Johns to minors, still trying to figure out defense pairs

7:30 p.m. today (FSSW-Plus/1310 AM The Ticket)

Storyline

Dallas has a one-game homestand before taking off on a four-game road trip, and it needs to keep getting points in the rough waters of the Western Conference. Coach Lindy Ruff juggled lines and is leaning on a defense in transition, so the team continues to seek consistency. Oh yeah, and the Canucks rallied for an overtime win against the Stars Nov. 13, so there is a revenge factor there.
