Sometimes, the deck chairs need to be shuffled, because that's how you keep the ship tidy.

The old saying of "shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic" often indicates a team might be making moves that mean little in the big picture. The Stars, however, are expected to make changes Saturday in hopes of safely navigating rough waters.

Off to a 1-3-0 start, coach Ken Hitchcock appears ready to shuffle his defensemen. Hitchcock said Friday that he expects to move John Klingberg onto a pairing with Marc Methot and might also scratch a defenseman who has played in the first four games.
