The biggest storyline coming in to the game tonight were the roster changes. Johnny Oduya came in to bolster our defense and our ailing penalty kill after missing ten games to a lower body injury. Perhaps more intriguing if only because of the mystery, Jiri Hudler is also back after missing twenty games to an illness that has never been disclosed.
And Jamie Oleksiak, of course, is serving the first of two games lost to a suspension for elbowing Chris Vandevelde in the head last night.
First period
Believe it or not, but the Stars were pretty evenly matched in the first period.
