Dallas Stars (3-2-0, 6 points, 7th Central, 10th West)
Player to Watch
Cole Sillinger
His underlying numbers have been excellent so far. He’s second among the forwards in CF%, iCF (individual shot attempts), and iSCF (individual scoring chances). Yet, he only has one assist in five games. Also, his skating has improved slightly. According to NHL Edge, he’s in the 76th percentile in the league in speed bursts 20-22 MPH.
So, is he snake-bit? Hopefully, he can have a big game tonight.
Jackets Notes
Gudbransen and Wood are both listed as day-to-day and, according to the club, progressing as expected … Dysin Mayo was called up from Cleveland to be the extra defenseman while Gudbransen recovers … 2025 Fifth-round pick Owen Griffin now has 8 goals and 8 assists in 11 games for Oshawa of the OHL – keep it up, kid!
The Other Bench
Duchene is battling an injury, but is listed as probable for tonight.
Stay out of the box. The Stars have the second-best PP in the league. Rantanen, Hintz, Robertson, Johnston, and Heiskanen will make you regret that unnecessary slash or hook.
