| |  | 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. | | VANCOUVER: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, finished 12th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Willie Desjardins, first season with the Canucks.
ADDED: C Nick Bonino, LW Derek Dorsett, G Ryan Miller, D Luca Sbisa, RW Radim Vrbata.
LOST: RW Zac Dalpe, D Jason Garrison, C Ryan Kesler, C Mike Santorelli, C Jordan Schroeder.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Ryan Miller. On June 29, 2013, the Canucks had a goaltending tandem of Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider. When Vancouver's season ended 288 days later, the duo in net was Eddie Lack and Jacob Markstrom after Schneider and Luongo were traded. In a combined 45 games with Vancouver, Lack and Markstrom were 17-19-5 with a 2.39 goals against average and .908 save percentage. Miller, who was signed to a three-year, $18 million free agent deal, has a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage the last four seasons.
OUTLOOK: The dismissals of coach John Tortorella and Kesler, traded to Anaheim, can be seen as addition by subtraction. Kesler's in-season trade request became a distraction for a team whose 2013-14 campaign was an unmitigated failure. So the Canucks can do nothing but improve in 2014-15. Will there be enough improvement to qualify for a playoff berth? That may be too much to ask for a team in the tough Western Conference. |

*Stars-Canucks Preview* =======================
By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer
Dallas (36-29-10) at Vancouver (43-27-4), 10:00 p.m. EDT
A strong second half has the Vancouver Canucks primed to rejoin the postseason, but the ultra-competitive Western Conference won't afford them any comfort the rest of the way.
With a slight cushion in the playoff race, the Canucks face off Saturday night with the Dallas Stars, whose desperate late-season push suffered a near-fatal hit their last time out.
Vancouver (43-27-4) has been one of the league's best teams since the All-Star break with 17 wins, tied for second-most in the Western Conference, but will still need a strong finish to stay ahead of playoff hopeful Calgary.
The Canucks have as many points (90) as Winnipeg, which holds the second wild-card spot, but are second in the Pacific Division, two points ahead of Los Angeles and three in front of the Flames.
That race grew slightly more competitive with Vancouver's 4-1 loss to Colorado on Thursday, ending a three-game win streak.
"It's unacceptable. We knew how important this game was," defenseman Luca Sbisa said. "Every game going down the stretch is going to be like a playoff game. Not showing up is not acceptable. It's pretty much like our `B' team showed up.'"
Vancouver has lost only three of its last 10 contests, with each defeat coming at home. That trend bodes well for the Stars (36-29-10), although even a perfect end to the season may not be enough for Dallas following a 4-0 loss to lowly Edmonton on Friday.
The Stars, who had won seven of eight before the defeat, trail the West's final playoff spot by eight points with only seven games to play.
"That was a tough one; we didn't play the game we have been playing lately that had made us successful," Shawn Horcoff told the Stars' official website. "That's the type of game we have been trying to get away from."
It was a rare off night for a Stars offense that had averaged 3.7 goals over its last three contests and ranked second in the NHL with 3.08 goals per game this season. Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn had combined for 12 points in Dallas' previous four games.
"I don't think we played very well," coach Lindy Ruff said. "It started with the first shift, turning the puck over and getting scored against ... There were a lot of odd-man situations. We just seemed a step behind."
Kari Lehtonen's four goals allowed Friday marked his most since Feb. 27. He had posted an 8-1-0 record in his previous 10 starts, which included wins in both ends of a back-to-back March 12-13. Backup Jhonas Enroth owns a 3.28 goals-against average this season, and has not started since March 7.
Eddie Lack figures to be in net for Vancouver. Lack, who is winless in two career starts against the Stars, stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 2-0 loss to Dallas on Dec. 17, and surrendered five goals in defeat March 6, 2014.
Dallas has won six straight against the Canucks, and hasn't lost in Vancouver since March 30, 2012.
