"The Stars are 22-7-5 on the season and remain second in the Central Division, though how long Dallas will stay that way is the real question. With the big shake-up in the division, the Minnesota Wild now have one of the best defensemen in the league in Quinn Hughes. The Stars will have to continue winning if the team wants to stay ahead of the Wild. So far, the Stars have done that. The team is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games."
"The Sharks will have to keep an eye on Mikko Rantanen, who was not only a menace on the ice last game but also on the scoreboard. He has 44 points in 33 games this season. Jason Robertson leads the Stars with 20 goals. Wyatt Johnson is second on the team with 17 goals. In the net, Jake Oettinger is 14-6-2 with a .907 save percentage. Casey DeSmith is the backup, but he's been more than servicable. He has an 8-1-3 record with a .913 save percentage."
The Dallas Stars visit the San Jose Sharks following a 4-1 win in their last meeting in Dallas. Dallas is 22-7-5 overall and 7-2-1 in its last 10 games while facing increased division pressure after Minnesota's acquisition of Quinn Hughes. Dallas operates a 31.4% power play and an 82.4% penalty kill, compared with San Jose's 78.6% penalty kill. Mikko Rantanen has 44 points in 33 games; Jason Robertson leads Dallas with 20 goals and Wyatt Johnson has 17. Jake Oettinger is 14-6-2 with a .907 save percentage and Casey DeSmith is 8-1-3 with a .913. San Jose will start Alex Nedeljkovic, with Ty Dellandrea and Adam Gaudette in while Jeff Skinner is scratched. The teams meet again on Jan. 10.
