STARS at BLUES
7 p.m. today (FSSW/1310 AM The Ticket)
Storyline
Ken Hitchcock coached the Blues for six seasons and accumulated a 248-124-41 record. He and current Stars assistant coach Rick Wilson were on the coaching staff with current Blues head coach Mike Yeo last season. They are all very familiar with each other, so that should make for an interesting strategic match-up.
Key match-up
Alexander Radulov vs. Alex Pietrangelo
Radulov was a wrecking ball in his Stars debut, throwing big hits (3) and shot attempts (10) all over the place. Pietrangelo played 25:43 in a season opening win at Pittsburgh and will likely be out there all night against the Stars' top line.
