That duo was running the show in late February during a stretch that saw the team collectively surre...

Game 47 Recap: Still Alive! Jackets Defeat Stars

The Cannon — It was a must win game for the Jackets, and though Dallas gave them a very difficult time the Jackets prevailed, thanks to the normally weak powerplay and strong defensive play.

Daily Links: Dallas Stars Goalie Kari Lehtonen Ready To Make Push For Playoffs

Defending Big D — After four games, Kari Lehtonen is ready to jump back into the final battle for a playoff spot. Thankfully, it is just in time. All season long, the Dallas Stars have been extremely careful with Kari's groin issues. While they may play him for 19 consecutive games, they are very quick to take him out if they feel like there is a problem. This strategy has worked well, for the most part, as Kari has been the workhorse of the team, while still getting a few games rest when he needs it. But with the season on the line, Kari will once again return to face one of the top teams in the Wes...
