Morning skate update: Niemi in net, Oleksiak in lineup as Stars face Winnipeg Tuesday

As writers, we look for stories, so the return to play for the Stars Tuesday is tinged with talks of Central Division games and battling out of a January slump and getting big players scoring. But I kind of like how Jason Spezza sums up the Stars return from a six-day break.

"I think you start from scratch," Spezza said. "I think you treat it as (the start of the season). There's no momentum, positive or negative."

And maybe that's a good thing for the Stars. They want to bury the 3-6-2 January in the past and they want to look forward.
