| | | 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. | | 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. |
| | Blackhawks-Stars Preview By SCOTT GARBARINI STATS Writer
Jonathan Toews' brief absence didn't make a difference in the Chicago Blackhawks' first game after the All-Star break, but his return certainly did in the latest. The Dallas Stars head home hoping they can withstand the loss of a key player and close the gap on the first-place Blackhawks as the Central Division foes face off Saturday night. Dallas (33-14-5) has kept pace with the Blackhawks by winning its first two out of the break, though Thursday's comeback victory at Colorado was marred by Jason Spezza's upper-body injury that will sideline the veteran center for at least a few games. ''I'm going to say it's more than a few days,'' coach Lindy Ruff said following the Stars' 4-3 overtime win. Spezza's 18 goals rank third among Dallas players and he's amassed a team-leading 15 points over the last 15 games. The Stars, winners of three straight and first in the NHL with 169 goals, still possess two of the league's top four scorers in Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin and one of its best offensive defenseman in John Klingberg, whose goal 35 seconds into overtime capped Dallas' comeback from a 3-2 deficit after two periods. "I thought we fought through some adversity," Ruff said. "I thought we could have got some calls (Thursday). It was a gutsy win." Chicago (35-16-4) also displayed some resolve in Thursday's 5-4 win at Arizona that maintained its three-point edge over the Stars. It had a first-period goal waved off that drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty from coach Joel Quenneville, which led to the Coyotes scoring on the resulting power play, then blew a late one-goal lead before Toews scored with 28.5 seconds left in overtime. Toews recorded his league-leading fifth overtime goal and scored short-handed earlier in his return from a one-game suspension. The Chicago captain was forced to sit out Tuesday's 2-1 win at Colorado after skipping Sunday's All-Star Game with an illness. "It's about getting opportunities," he said. "After you get a few early in the season you feel confident in the situation. I'm glad I've been able to cash in on situations like that.'' The Blackhawks' five goals equaled their total during a 2-3-0 stretch that followed a franchise-record 12-game winning streak from Dec. 29-Jan. 19, a run that erased the Stars' 13-point lead in the Central. Dallas has had little trouble producing points in recent matchups with Chicago, outscoring the Blackhawks 14-3 while winning the last three - two by shutout. Spezza scored a power-play goal and ex-Blackhawk Patrick Sharp had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 home win Dec. 22, supporting 20 saves from former Chicago goaltender Antti Niemi. Niemi, part of the Blackhawks' 2010 Stanley Cup champion team, has posted shutouts in two of his last three meetings with Chicago and is 7-2-0 with a 1.56 goals-against average in his past nine home starts. Corey Crawford improved to 11-2-0 with a 1.77 GAA since Jan. 3 with 24 saves against Arizona but has conversely struggled in this series, having allowed 13 goals in Chicago's three straight defeats. Dallas has won 11 of 14 at home and is 19-6-0 at American Airlines Center. |
