No one said it was going to be easy.
As the Dallas Stars prepare to take the ice for the second game of a four-game home stand tonight, they have a lot of positive wind pushing them along. One of the main motivators for Dallas is the sudden shrinkage of the injured reserve list.
In an interview yesterday, Stars’ coach Lindy Ruff suggested that Cody Eakin will probably be available to start tonight and that Patrick Sharp could be ready by Saturday night’s home game.
Eakin has yet to skate in a game this season.
