The Dallas Stars are gearing up for a crucial road game against the Utah Mammoth in Salt Lake City. The Mammoth, the NHL's newest franchise after moving from Arizona, have embraced their fresh start and sit just 11 points behind Dallas in the bus. Central Division Two-thirds through the season, they're playoff contenders, but they've hit a snag lately, dropping two of their last three games after a hot nine. Wins, one loss, and one tie in 11 outings.
What are the Dallas Stars' expectations for their game against the Utah Mammoth?
Earlier this week, the Mammoth wrapped up a four-game road trip through the Southeast, and they're not always sharp right back at home. The Stars remember their last match of well, when Utah goalie Karel Vegemelka dominated with 26 saves on 27 shots in a tight. 2-1 victory. Dallas knows they need to flip that script to stay hot before the Olympic break. One key for the Stars is shutting down Captain Clayton Keller, Utah's 27-year-old star with 50 points in 54 games. He's headed to the Winter Olympics for Team USA, but he's gone cold scoreless in three straight with just three shots. If Dallas bottles him up again, it could lead to a big win. Meanwhile, Vedra Melka leads the league with 25 wins and ties for most starts at 41, but his save percentage sits at .90.
0, tied with Dallas' own Jake O. Ettinger. The Stars should pepper him with shots, especially since this would be his 13th start in 15 games. He's bound to wear down eventually. Utah's third line of Michael Carcone, Jack McBain, and Kaler Yamamoto bring serious energy despite the team's league-worst power play, Carcone and Yamamoto drive play, while McBain leads forwards in hits and wins over half his faceoffs. A win here keeps Dallas one point behind Minnesota and sends them into the break on a high note after a tough January. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor. Link in the description.
