The Dallas Stars are set to face the San Jose Sharks today, aiming to extend their hot winning streak. Fresh off a victory against the Capitals, the Stars know they're up against the tough young Sharks team led by rising superstar Macklin Celebrini.

22.677 - 36.537

He's been dominating on both ends of the ice, making life hard for opponents. Celebrini is one of the best young players in the league right now, with his recent goals blowing up on social media. Stars fans are worried he could end their run if left unchecked.

37.158 - 57.609

The key will be getting goalie Casey DeSmith ready to shut him down as he brings a steady, calming vibe between the pipes. To pull off the win, the Stars need to part players right in front of the Sharks' net and pepper their goalie with shots, just like they did last. Game. No more firing from the blue line. That close pressure is how they grab those crucial two points.

Getting Mikko Rantanen involved up front is huge, too. He's a natural pest in that dirty area, and if Coach Glenn Gullitson unleashes him as that pesky moose, the Sharks will be in deep trouble.

70.113 - 92.307

The top priorities are shutting down Celebrini with the top two defensemen and sticking with the Smith in net today. Save Jake Oettinger for the back-to-back tomorrow. Nail these four keys, and the Stars sail to another victory. Appreciation to our sponsor for backing this episode. Don't just listen to podcasts. Lay back, relax, and enjoy them with Soleil Pillow.
