The Dallas Stars faces the Carolina Hurricanes after a pair of painful overtime losses at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks. The pair of home losses had already extended the Stars’ winless streak to three, making the team a lackluster 1-2-3 since their electric 4-0-0 start to the season.
The Stars were still dealing with key injuries as Alexander Radulov found himself on the shelf for the third straight tilt. However, the club added back defenseman Andrej Sekera as he returned from the COVID-19 protocol list. Anton Khudobin regained the crease after a two-game absence due to a healthy scratch and rookie goaltender Jake Oettinger’s strong streak of play.
