Eaves and McKenzie now out for a fair amount of time along with Ritchie, most likely. Forwards already getting depleted pretty heavily.

Who would even be the next call up? Morin?

Put Oleksiak on the fourth line. Net front presence on the second PP only.

I don't see what could go wrong with it.

The hockey gods are clearly smiting those who stand in Val's way. Oleksiak would be cut in half by a skate blade or something.

Ouch, looks like injuries are biting hard already. Though I've been wondering what's up with Nichushkin and the healthy scratches so far. Has he been playing poorly or is it just a matter of Ruff not liking his game or something? He seems like he'd be perfect in the Stars' top 9.

Also, what do you guys think of Sceviour and where he fits in? Moen too - is he close to being done as an NHL'er?

Personally I'd go with Faksa. He'll most easily slot into the bottom lines, he was closest one to make the team after Janmark out of camp and I'd be curious to see him in the big league at this point.
Morin though is the safer choice I guess, he's always solid, albeit a bit unspectacular at NHL level.

He's not as dazzling as he was during parts of last year, but apart from occasional defensive flubbups, he's been pretty ok, with a few offensive masterstrokes here and there. I'm not disappointed.

I was joking. He's moving in slow motion and his awareness has been lacking, which has led to him taking a big hit on what seems like every shift.

I don't especially like the idea of where our forwards are playing, Roussel with Spezza in particular, but if it works then I'll get used to it. Scevior was playing like a guy on a micro leash last night and helped set up a goal, but made a mistake that led to a goal. He's going to stick out because of how soundly Eakin and Janmark are playing. Moen hasn't looked terrible, he's just not good and the 4th line hasn't done much to this point. If he gets banged up, he might lose his spot to somebody who will be back next year.

Thanks for this. Dallas will be interesting this year - they'll probably score a lot of goals again but their D should be improved as well. Sceviour mainly stands out to me because he's produced at a decent rate the past 2 years in what seems to be mostly bottom 6 minutes. If Nuke gets out of the doghouse they're probably deep enough to have a guy like Roussel on the 4th line... :amazed:

Jason Demers is suspended for 2 games. One too many in my opinion. Whatever.



My money is on Patrik Nemeth sliding into the roster.

I'm not a Stars fan, could you please tell me who's the #1 goalie now ? And who do you think will be by the end of the season ?
Thank you.

No clear #1 yet (and probably won't be all season) but Niemi has played better. I would guess we'd be in a 1a/1b situation by the end of the season still.

Devin Shore from Texas Stars putting good numbers in AHL at the moment. What are the expectations about him, guys?

Dallas called Shore up today, wonder if someone is hurt. Would be nice to see him get a chance to play his first game

He might simply be forcing their hand too, he's had a great season in the AHL so far.

Definitely going to be some interesting lineups in the next week or so.

They also need an extra body for the road trip. Good to see a goal scorer get the nod over a grinder. I hope he gets a shot on the second line because Spezza needs help.
