Stars Blog | Dallas Morning News — Mark Stepneski over at Andrew's Dallas Stars Page did a great job of breaking down the six games the Stars will play at home over the next two weeks. Dallas gets started tonight against the Kings and plays six teams that are currently in the playoffs. Dallas is seven points out of eighth place in the West with a game in hand, so they probably need to go 5-1-0 on this stretch to really be a part of the conversation. Here's Marc Crawford: ``We have to do exactly what some of these other team have done,'' Crawford said. ``You look a week ago and Calgary was in the same predicament that we are rig...
1 hour agoStars Blog | Dallas Morning News — The Stars need this one badly, but this is also the first home game after a long road trip (often seen as a sure loss in NHL circles). The Stars have to play better, but they just have not been able to figure out the Kings this year (LA is 4-0-0 including a 5-1 victory in Dallas March 2). Jonathan Bernier has been called up from the minors and is in net for the Kings. He wants to make a statement about his ability to play in the NHL. I think he'll have a great game against a very aggressive Dallas team, and the Kings will use the counter-attack to create some solid scoring chances. Los Angeles...
1 hour agoFort-Worth Star Telegram — By MIKE HEIKA DALLAS -- After giving up 95 shots in the past two games, the Dallas Stars have to fix their team defense or they will soon find themselves out of playoff contention.Starting a six-game homestand tonight against the Los Angeles Kings, the Stars probably need to be close to perfect if they want to stay in the hunt for the last playoff spot in the NHL West. But to get to that place, they have to start with baby steps."It's just so many details that keep going wrong," defenseman Stephane Robidas said. "Communication is key, and we need to be able to have that. But we also need to b...
15 hours agoStars Blog | Dallas Morning News — Getting placed on a ``Clear Day'' roster is a big deal for an AHL team. They are only allowed 20 skaters and two goalies, so it's an elite group. The Texas Stars today released their Clear Day roster, and Jamie Benn is on it. That means the 20-year-old rookie will probably play in the AHL playoffs if the Dallas Stars don't make the playoffs. That's a great thing for Benn. Yes, he has played a tough, long season, but the Stars have seen players get a lot out of minor league playoff runs in the past. Marc Fistric played last season for Manitoba and made it to the AHL Finals. Loui Eriksson had a ...

"Marty played awesome. He's playing his heart out for us, and we have to be better."Turco stopped a career-best 49 shots Monday in an amazing 4-3 shootout win in Washington. But instead of fix...
