|
| | | 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. | | CHICAGO: LAST SEASON: 48-28-6, 102 points. Beat Tampa Bay Lightning in
Stanley Cup Final.
COACH: Joel Quenneville (eighth season, 19th NHL season,
754-438-77-106).
ADDED: F Ryan Garbutt, D Trevor Daley, F Viktor Tikhonov, C
Artem Anisimov.
LOST: F Brandon Saad, F Patrick Sharp, C Brad Richards, C
Antoine Vermette, F Kris Versteeg, D Johnny Oduya, G Antti
Raanta.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Artemi Panarin. The Blackhawks won a crowded
competition for the Russian winger when they signed him to a
two-year contract in May. He was slowed by an upper-body during
the preseason, but his teammates have raved about his moves and
instincts. He likely will begin the year on Chicago's second
line, and his transition to the NHL could have a big impact on
the Blackhawks' season.
OUTLOOK: As long as Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa,
Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are around, the Blackhawks are a
legitimate threat to win it all. But the Central is loaded again
and it could look ugly at times while Quenneville tries to find
the right lines and defensive pairings for a much different
group than the one that won the championship in June. |
| | Stars-Blackhawks Preview By MATT BECKER STATS Editor
Patrick Sharp was a key part of the Chicago Blackhawks' transformation from league also-ran to Stanley Cup champion. He raised the Cup on the United Center ice in June and will make his first trip back to Chicago as a player Thursday night, with his Dallas Stars looking to cut into the Blackhawks' Central Division lead. For the past 9 1/2 seasons, Sharp was a staple in Chicago's lineup, leading the team in scoring four times. The fan favorite tallied 239 goals and scored another 42 in the playoffs to help the club to three Stanley Cups. Three weeks after their latest Cup celebration, the Blackhawks (36-17-4) traded Sharp to Dallas (34-15-5) in need of saving salary-cap space. Sharp got off to a fast start with the Stars - as did most of his teammates - but has been stuck on 16 goals since Jan. 3. He had a goal and an assist in his first game against his former team in a 4-0 win Dec. 22 as Dallas moved 10 points ahead of Chicago. The Stars' push to the division crown hit a snag in January, however, as they slogged through much of the month while the Blackhawks pulled ahead on the strength of a franchise-best 12-game winning streak. Chicago returned to Dallas on Saturday and this time it dominated play, winning 5-1 behind a goal and three assists from Artem Anisimov. Patrick Kane scored his NHL-leading 32nd goal - four ahead of Dallas' Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin - and Artemi Panarin had two assists as Chicago's top line accounted for two goals and five assists. ''They knew what happened here last time, and didn't want that to happen again,'' said Dallas defenseman Alex Goligoski, who was on the ice for the Blackhawks' last four goals. ''It will be nice to get them again pretty quick, so it's a chance to get them back.'' The Stars bounced back with Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win in Minnesota, their fourth victory in five games. John Klingberg scored the winner for Dallas, which has scored at least four goals in three of four games since the All-Star break, with the Chicago loss being the exception. The Stars reached the four-goal mark twice in 15 games before the break. Corey Crawford made 36 saves against the Stars and stopped 25 of 26 shots Tuesday against San Jose, but Chicago's three-game winning streak was snapped with a 2-0 loss. The Blackhawks, three points ahead of Dallas, have four losses in their last 20 games, totaling one goal in the defeats. ''We didn't have the same jump that we usually do," said Crawford, who is 13-3-0 with a 1.88 goals-against average in his last 16 starts. "It was just one of those games where the puck wasn't going in.'' The Blackhawks did have one puck go in but Brandon Mashinter's goal late in the first period was disallowed after the Sharks won a successful video challenge for goalie interference. When the first question of his postgame press conference asked about the play, a fuming Joel Quenneville gave a quick answer before abruptly throwing up his arms and walking out. The Blackhawks are hopeful Panarin, who leads NHL rookies with 52 points, can return after he missed his first game with an illness. Former Blackhawk Antti Niemi was given the night off Tuesday after being pulled for giving up three goals on eight shots in Saturday's first period. He has a 4.02 GAA in losing seven consecutive starts in Chicago since winning Dec. 30, 2010 in his first game back at the United Center. |
