Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET, the Vancouver Canucks (20-10-6, 46 points) and Dallas Stars (16-12-5) go head-to-head live at the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the second of three meetings against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. Vancouver fans can hear all of the action on Team 1410 while Dallas fans can do the same on 1310 The Ticket.
Vancouver will look to start to build on a new winning streak after their seven-game winning streak was snapped their last time out while Dallas hopes to win back-to-back games for the first time since winning three in a row between Nov. 13-17. The first time these two teams met, the Stars defeated the Canucks 2-1 on Nov. 17 in Vancouver.
Vancouver's winning streak was snapped Tuesday in a shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild.
"We [stink] in the shootout. Yeah, we do. We gotta try different people I guess because we stink at it," coach John Tortorella said via NHL.com after the loss.
The Stars earned a hard-fought victory against the Colorado Avalanche by a 3-2 margin on Tuesday. Dallas gave their starting goaltender a rest Tuesday and picked up a win.
"[Starting goalie Kari Lehtonen] is going through a little bit of a rough time right now. Teams that can throw in their backup and win a game, that's always good," coach Lindy Ruff said per NHL.com.
Lehtonen will likely start tonight and is 12-8-5 with a 2.63 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. Vancouver is likely to counter with Roberto Luongo, who is 16-8-6 with a 2.18 GAA and a .922 save percentage thus far.
Vancouver has been led up front by Daniel Sedin (11-21-32), Henrik Sedin (9-23-32) and Ryan Kesler (15-11-26) while Dallas has been paced by Tyler Seguin (18-15-33), Jamie Benn (9-19-28) and Alex Chiasson (8-10-18).
The Canucks look to start a new winning streak while Dallas will hope to string together two wins in a row for the first time in over a month when they hit the ice at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
