Coming off their first regulation loss of the season, the Dallas Stars were back at it on Tuesday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets at the American Airlines Center. Much has been made of the Stars slow starts, at home and on the road, a trend the club desperately needs to change. The Stars were gifted a break in the schedule, rested and with a couple practices under their belts to address critical issues that highlighted a disappointing performance against Toronto last week.
Columbus comes into the contest sporting a 3-3-2 record and dealing with a heavy schedule, playing their third game in five nights.
