Afterwords: When You’re Tired and Hurt, Things Don’t Always End Well
The Stars scored a goal, but because they weren’t playing Boston, it wasn’t enough to get them any points. Tyler Seguin scoring a goal is nice. The Dallas Stars scoring more than one goal would have been nicer. *** Remember last year, when Ben Bishop’s injury late in the season ended up spelling doom* for the Stars? Well, I don’t think this is that. “Day-to-day” and “soft-tissue” are hopeful things, and Anton Khudobin has been the better goalie anyway, this season. There is no need to panic in Dallas—or at least, no need to panic specifically because of the Bishop injury....

Stars' top line powers Dallas to rout of Islanders to begin road trip
BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- The Stars wandered the wilderness for six weeks, begrudgingly adapting and adjusting to life without one of the league's best lines. Through ineffectiveness and injuries, line-shuffling and post-ringing, Dallas was missing goal-scoring from its top line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Alexander Radulov.They'd comprised one of the league's most dynamic lines beginning last season, but had largely been quiet in the month leading into the Stars' 6-2 thrashing of the Islanders on Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn. They showed up Sunday.Benn, Seguin and Radulov each had three points...

Boston Bruins Return to Tyler Seguin
And, depending on the roster decisions, Anton Khudobin as well. Eleven short days after two truly unfortunate penalties in overtime cost the Dallas Stars the game in Boston, the Boston Bruins head west for a rematch in the American Airlines Center. Both teams are on a similar trajectory through this young season. The Stars are 8-5-1 and the Bruins are 8-4-2. The difference is that almost all of the Stars losses have happened on the road while the Bruins have spread their losses out a little more evenly. In their last meeting, the line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Jason Spezza played...

Teams bounce in and out of the playoffs all the time in the NHL. It's part of the beauty of the league.Last year, New Jersey and Colorado both made the playoffs....

Inside the offseason training program and the gym that helped build Stars center Tyler Seguin
TORONTO -- Tucked away in the north end of a high school rink in Toronto, five miles removed from Scotiabank Arena and in relative anonymity in the suburbs, is the starting point for one of Tyler Seguin's longest relationships in hockey.A pair of doors located beyond the ice at St. Michael's College School leads to an unimpressive but integral setup for Seguin each summer. They reveal a small weight room, painted red on the bottom half of the walls, white on the top half and connected by a metal ceiling that looks more like hurricane shutters than they do a training facility for top NHL...

Stars Face Predators Tonight In Second of Their Four Game Home Stand
Seguin finally scored again, but Klingberg’s out. It’s time to see how deep the blue line goes. The Dallas Stars are at home tonight in the American Airlines Center to face division rival Nashville Predators in the second game of their four game home stand. The Stars are coming off a 4-3 victory against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night that gave them the ultimate high of Tyler Seguin finally breaking his goal drought.

Stars edge Sharks
Devin Shore believes in linemate Tyler Seguin — and in the hockey concept of puck luck. Shore scored his second goal of the game to break a tie, Anton Khudobin tied a season high with 33 saves and the Stars beat the Sharks 4-3 in Dallas on Thursday night. Dillon Heatherington’s shot from the left point went off a defender’s leg to Shore in the left circle, and he beat goalie Martin Jones with 5:47 to play. “That was just a lucky break,” Shore said. “They blocked the shot and it landed right on my stick. Hockey’s a pretty chaotic game. The bounce went our way for that...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- And now, back to Dallas.The Stars' season-long six-game road trip is over, ending with a whimper in a 4-1 loss to Columbus on Tuesday night.
