Anaheim took a 2-0 series lead by notching wins in both games at home while Dallas will now look to try to turn things around at home and notch their first win of the series in Game 3. The Ducks beat the Stars 4-3 in Game 1 on Wednesday and then 3-2 on Saturday in Game 2.
The Ducks have received great contributions from Matt Beleskey, who had a goal and an assist in Game 1, but it's unlikely he'll play tonight after sitting out Game 2 with a lower-body injury.
"If he plays tomorrow, it's a miracle," coach Bruce Boudreau said Sunday at practice in Dallas, according to the Orange County Register.
The Stars are searching for answers after playing well but having nothing to show for it through the first two games of this series.
"I thought we've played some pretty good hockey, just not good enough," Dallas captain Jamie Benn told NHL.com. "We've got to go that extra step and find a way to win."
Benn, Colton Sceviour and Alex Chiasson each have two points for the Stars this series off of one goal and one assist each.
Ryan Getzlaf has paced the Ducks with four points off of two tallies and two helpers while Corey Perry (one goal, one assist) and Francois Beauchemin (two assists) each have two points.
In net, Anaheim is sticking with Frederik Andersen, who has won the first two games and allowed five goals on 71 shots while Kari Lehtonen will man the crease for Dallas after dropping the first two games and allowing seven goals on 54 shots.
The Ducks and Stars take the ice for Game 3 of their best-of-seven opening-round series as part of the Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
