KEY GAME INFORMATION
DALLAS: LAST SEASON: 40-31-11, 91 points, 5th Central Division. Made Western Conference playoffs as wild card, lost first-round playoff series in six games to top-seeded Anaheim.
COACH: Lindy Ruff, 2nd season with Stars, 40-31-11; 17th season overall in NHL, was 571-432-162 in Buffalo.
ADDED: C Jason Spezza, RW Ales Hemsky; G Anders Lindback, RW Patrick Eaves.
LOST: RW Alex Chiasson, D Aaron Rome, LW Ray Whitney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jamie Benn. In his first season as the Stars captain, the 25-year-old Canadian ranked eighth in the NHL with 79 points and ninth with 34 goals. Both were career highs, as was his plus-21 rating. Benn has increasingly accepted his role as a leader on a team filled with plenty of 20-something players, and is part of a dynamic scoring line with Tyler Seguin.
OUTLOOK: With the experience of a hard-fought first-round series in their first season under veteran Ruff, the Stars expect to do more than just make the playoffs this time around. That is a reasonable goal with their added scoring punch. With Benn and Seguin on the front line, the Stars will have another line with 31-year-old former Ottawa teammates Spezza and Hemsky likely together.
ST LOUIS: LAST SEASON: 52-23-7, 111 points. Tied for third overall in Western Conference, lost in first round to Chicago.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, third full season with Blues. 124-55-20. 657-405-178 overall in 18 seasons, seventh on career win list.
ADDED: C Paul Stastny, C Jori Lehtera, D Carl Gunnarsson, C Colin Fraser, F Robby Fabbri.
LOST: G Ryan Miller, D Roman Polak, F Vladimir Sobotka, F Brenden Morrow.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jaden Schwartz. Signing Stastny in free agency creates open ice for everyone else. Schwartz led team at plus-28 last season and scored 25 goals.
OUTLOOK: They've been among the NHL's best regular-season teams the last few seasons, and one of the stingiest, too. Last season they allowed the third-fewest goals, plus defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk are highly productive joining the rush. They appear to have enough firepower to contend for an ever-elusive first Stanley Cup, although as usual there's plenty of competition at the top of the Western Conference.

*Stars-Blues Preview* =====================

By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer

Dallas (14-14-5) at St. Louis (21-10-3), 8:00 p.m. EDT

The St. Louis Blues entered the Christmas break mired in their worst skid of the season.

Lengthy layoffs have yet to help the Blues, though a return to home ice certainly seems to be to their benefit as they face off with the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.

The Blues (21-10-3) have lost three straight and suffered their worst defeat of the season in their most recent game, 5-0 to Colorado on Tuesday. The three-day break allowed them to recover from the lopsided loss, but time between games has not aided St. Louis in the past. When given three or more days' rest between contests, St. Louis is 0-3-1 this season while totaling four goals.

"There's ups and downs for every team, every season," defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk told the team's official website. "This is a time where we have to take a second to reflect on it and get back to work on the 27th."

The Blues have allowed 14 goals over the past three games as opponents have gone 6 for 15 on the power play.

"It falls on everybody; it's all of us," coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Whether you score four goals or five goals or three goals or one goal, the goal that's been here is not to give up much ... We're just trading chances, and you get games like that, where it's in your net before you blink. Can't win playing like this. We'll see if this is a wake-up call for us."

All three defeats before the break, however, came on the road. St. Louis is 7-0-1 in its last eight at Scottrade Center, averaging 4.37 goals, and now seek a season-high fifth consecutive home victory. The Blues are 12-3-1 on their own ice, and only Nashville has fewer home losses (12-2-1).

Goaltender Jake Allen has not allowed more than three goals in eight home starts, going 6-1-1. He allowed five goals and was pulled after two periods Tuesday.

Dallas (14-14-5) preceded the holiday break with a 4-0 loss to Toronto on Tuesday after winning a season-high four in a row.

Poor defense continues to haunt the Stars, who allow 3.39 goals per game to rank 29th in the NHL and are last in the Central Division. They've surrendered at least four goals in two straight games and 10 of 16.

Regardless, the Stars will need to find the net if they hope to regain any momentum. Dallas tied a season high with 45 shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over Edmonton on Sunday, then had 43 on Tuesday but suffered its first shutout of the season.

"You can get all the shots in the world, but you've got to finish and put it in the back of the net," defenseman Jason Demers told the Stars' official website. "You've got to sometimes get that ugly goal and it can't always be pretty."

Saturday's matchup is the second of five between St. Louis and Dallas this season. The Blues knocked off the Stars 4-3 in Oct. 28 when Vladimir Tarasenko completed his first career hat trick in overtime. Tarasenko's 20 goals are one shy of his total from all of last season and rank third in the league.

Dallas' Tyler Seguin is first with 25. He had a goal and an assist in the first meeting.

Kari Lehtonen took the loss in that matchup and will likely start again Saturday. He has allowed seven goals on just 44 shots over his last two games.
