- 3 hours ago Dallas Stars Prospect Update: Albin Eriksson Taking Flight In The SHL
Defending Big D — Elsewhere: Riley Damiani lights up the score sheet, Ty Dellandrea misses game due to injury Have the floodgates opened for Albin Eriksson? The Swedish power forward, who was selected by the Dallas Stars in the 2nd round, 44th overall, in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft went the first 32 games of his time in the SHL without scoring a goal (he did, however, have a few assists in that span). There’s nothing wrong with that: the SHL is one of the best hockey leagues in the world, full of veteran pros and many players who have made appearances in the NHL. Eriksson finally broke the streak last...
3 hours ago - 9 hours ago Afterwords: When You’re Tired and Hurt, Things Don’t Always End Well
Defending Big D — 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....
9 hours ago - 11 hours ago Tuesday Links: Stars Need Work on Championship Mentality
Defending Big D — Jim Montgomery wants to see more daily grind from his top players. Plus, Ben Bishop is day-to-day, the Central is tough again today, and more. If the Dallas Stars want to be champions, they need to work on their championship mentality, says head coach Jim Montgomery. Montgomery is seeking regular, reliable effort after a difficult 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers that came one day after a 6-2 blowout of the Philadelphia Flyers, reports Stars senior staff writer Mike Heika: “The one thing I found inconsistent with our team has been our work ethic on a daily basis,” Montgomery said before...
11 hours ago - 20 hours ago Stars Open Scoring But Ultimately Fall to the Rangers
Defending Big D — And also lost Ben Bishop for at least one period. Does it count as a back-to-back for the Dallas Stars when yesterday’s game started at noon and it’s (sorta) in the same enormous city? My feeling is no, but the Stars apparently disagreed. The eruption in scoring yesterday was a season high in goals for the Stars (they’ve gotten to five several times) and a huge sigh of relief for Stars fans across the great state of Texas and indeed, the world. I saw you, New York Stars fans! So the Stars rolled into the Barclay’s Center yesterday afternoon and handed the Islanders butts back to...

6 hours ago - 19 hours ago Goalie Ben Bishop hurt as Stars fall short of 'championship work ethic' in loss to Rangers
SportsDay — NEW YORK -- As the Stars have received inconsistency on offense and injuries on defense, they could rely on their goaltending through the first 20 games.

After the game, Stars coach Jim Montgomery offered a hopeful diagnosis for Bishop,...

SportsDay — NEW YORK -- For the second straight game, Stars forward Brett Ritchie was a healthy scratch, this time missing Monday night's game against the Rangers.Ritchie -- whose 6-foot-4 and 220-pound frame brings a missing physical element to Dallas' forward lines -- was also a scratch Sunday during the Stars' 6-2 win over the Islanders. Ritchie's back-to-back scratches come after he was afforded an opportunity on Friday against Boston to skate on the second line."He needs to be more consistent with his work ethic every day, in practice and in games," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said.
