Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET, the Anaheim Ducks (17-6-3, 37 points) and the Dallas Stars (11-9-2, 24 points) faceoff live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas in the second of three meetings between these two teams this season. The game can be live streamed here. Anaheim fans can hear all of the hard-hitting action by tuning their radios to KLAA-AM 830 while Dallas fans can do the same on SportsRadio 1310 AM.
Anaheim enters with a 1-3-1 road record in their past five games away from the Honda Center and will look to turn it around while Dallas has lost four straight home games and hasn't won at the American Airlines Center since Oct. 24. The first time these two met this season, the Ducks defeated the Stars 6-3 in Anaheim on Oct. 20.
The Ducks have won two straight games with their last win coming Saturday when the team handed the Phoenix Coyotes a 4-2 loss and their first regulation home loss this season.
"We knew it was going to be a tough building to play in. We played a really solid road game. I was definitely excited to get the two points," goalie Jonas Hiller told NHL.com after the game.
Hiller is 9-3-2 this season with a 2.53 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage this season. Kari Lehtonen has manned the crease for the Stars in 17 of 24 games thus far this campaign and is 10-5-2 with a 2.28 GAA and a .924 save percentage.
The Stars have been on the losing side of two games in a row for the first time this month after their latest 6-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday and will look to bounce back at home.
"It's hard to win. I took a peek at the standings the other day and the top eight teams in the league are all in the West so, you gotta find a way to get as many points as you can. ... It's not easy to get into those playoffs," forward Jamie Benn told NHL.com.
Benn has three goals and eight assists in his past eight games for Dallas and leads the team with 24 points off of seven goals and 17 assists while Tyler Seguin has 12 tallies and 11 helpers for 23 points and Alex Chiasson has found the twine six times and added seven assists for 13 points.
Ryan Getzlaf has a seven-game point streak and is tied for fourth in the NHL in goals by notching 13 tallies and 14 assists while also being tied for fourth in the league with 27 points. Corey Perry is also tied for fourth in goals by lighting the lamp 14 times and adding 12 helpers for 25 points and Dustin Penner has found the back of the net six times and added 11 assists for 17 points.
The Ducks look to find some success on the road while the Stars will hope that they can get passed their home woes and snap a four game losing streak at home when the puck drops at the American Airlines Center tonight in Dallas.
