Morning skate update: Stars need to capitalize on home and home with Arizona; Hanzal plays old team

7:30 p.m. today (FSSW/1310 AM The Ticket)

Storyline

The Stars (2-3-0) have a chance to erase a slow start with back-to-back games against the Arizona Coyotes, who are off to an 0-4-1 start. Dallas has won nine straight against Arizona at home and is 2-1-0 at American Airlines Center this season.

Key matchup

Martin Hanzal vs. Oliver Ekman-Larsson

The two players shared seven seasons together on the Coyotes, and should have plenty of time on the ice together in the next two games. Hanzal returned to play at Arizona with Minnesota last season and scored a goal in a 3-1 Wild win.
