The Dallas Stars faced the New Jersey Devils tonight in a key matchup.

Stars fans got a boost with signs that Ford Miko Rantanen could return soon from his injury at the Winter Olympics against Team Canada.

He will not play this game but is close, which should help the top line and power play down the stretch.

Rantanen's absence means the Stars must find scoring from everywhere else.

Players like Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston will need to step up big.

The team has struggled lately, so generating offense early could get them back on track.

Stars goalie Jake Odinger will be crucial in containing double stars.

To win, Dallas needs a tight defensive plan against those threats.

Shutting down Hughes and his sheer limits the Devils' attack, opening doors for Stars' counters.

Expect a gritty battle either way, with the Stars hungry to climb the standings before Rantanen rejoins the fray.

His teammate Wyatt Johnston added two goals in that Devils game, including one on the power play, helping Dallas secure a key win.

The Devils fought back with goals from Jesper Bratt, Jack Hughes twice, and Connor Brown in the same matchup against the Stars.

Bratt also lit the lamp against the New York Rangers earlier that week on March 18th.

Meanwhile, Johnston chipped in another power play goal for Dallas in their March 22nd victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.

Fans are buzzing about the Stars' offensive surge, putting them in strong playoff position.
