- Big homestand starts tonight 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.

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...

Whitney was a U.S. Olympian, but his poor offensive output and inconsistent defense led the Ducks to [...]Former Duck Whitney suffers knee injury is a post from: Ducks blog
