|
| | | 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. | | FLORIDA: LAST SEASON: 29-45-8, 66 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Gerald Gallant, 1st season with Panthers; 4th overall in NHL, 56-76-4.
ADDED: C Jussi Jokinen, C Dave Bolland, D Willie Mitchell, G Al Montoya, C Derek MacKenzie, LW Shawn Thornton.
LOST: D Tom Gilbert, C Scott Gomez, C Marcel Goc, D Ed Jovanovski, G Tim Thomas, G Scott Clemmensen, G Jacob Markstrom.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Roberto Luongo. For as much as the Panthers are talking about scoring more goals and improving special teams - and rightly so - Florida's hopes hinge upon one of the most popular players in team history. If Luongo is great, the Panthers could be a playoff team. If he struggles, so will Florida.
OUTLOOK: So much has to change quickly for Florida to get in playoff contention, but the Panthers went out and tried during the offseason to revamp just about everything from locker-room mood to on-ice style. Opening with five road games in the season's first seven outings may set the tone. |

*Stars-Panthers Preview* ========================
Dallas (28-26-10) at Florida (28-23-13), 7:30 p.m. EDT
The Dallas Stars have plenty of motivation for this matchup with the Florida Panthers.
Now they'll be facing a former player making his season debut due to extraordinary circumstances.
Dan Ellis will start in goal for the Panthers on Thursday night against the visiting Stars, who lost superstar Tyler Seguin the last time these teams met.
Dallas (28-26-10) won 2-0 over Florida on Feb. 13, but no one was celebrating afterward. That's because three players got hurt, with Seguin the most notable one.
Seguin, who has 29 goals and 59 points, suffered a severe right knee injury after being checked by defenseman Dmitry Kulikov in the third period. Stars coach Lindy Ruff called the play "a dirty shot."
Kulikov, assessed a major penalty for clipping and a game misconduct, was suspended four games for the incident.
The Stars have gone 2-5-2 since losing Seguin to fall out of playoff contention.
Thursday's game comes exactly one year after Dallas traded Ellis to Florida for Tim Thomas. Ellis, recalled from the minors Wednesday, allowed 25 goals in losing all five starts last season for the Panthers.
"I'll go out there and try to read the game the way I'm capable of and try to make the saves I need to in order to help us win," Ellis told the Panthers' official Twitter account.
Ellis began his career in 2003-04 with Dallas and made one start. He went 5-6-0 with a 3.04 goals-against average in 14 games - 11 starts - with the Stars last season.
Florida (28-23-13) had little choice but to call up the veteran because of injuries to Roberto Luongo and Al Montoya that proved to be costly in Tuesday's 3-2 home loss to Toronto.
Luongo started and got hurt with Montoya replacing him. The backup suffered a groin injury that forced Luongo to change out of street clothes back into uniform. Florida, which blew a third-period lead, considered inserting goalie coach Robb Tallas or forward Derek MacKenzie between the pipes.
"We're playing a pretty good game, and all of a sudden, boom, boom, you lose two goalies real quick," coach Gerard Gallant said. "Fortunately for us, both of them were able to return and play some of the game, and Robbie didn't have to go in there."
Florida remained two points behind Boston for the Eastern Conference's final wild-card berth. The Panthers have played two more games.
"It was unfortunate we let this one slip away," said center Brandon Pirri, who has three goals in his last three games. "These are two big points we needed."
Dallas ended an 0-4-2 slide with Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory over the New York Islanders on Cody Eakin's winner. The Stars were stunned when they conceded the tying goal with two seconds left in the third period.
"It's part of that next step to get over that hurdle where you deal with adversity and you fight even harder because we've dealt with a lot in this building," Ruff said.
Kari Lehtonen figures to start after he had 37 saves for his fourth shutout in last month's meeting.
