Storyline
The Stars are juggling injuries and lines, so there is a lot up in the air with this team right now. Jamie Benn is expected to start at center for the first time in five years, while both Radek Faksa (lower body) and Brett Ritchie (upper body) will return from injuries. They have a significant challenge, as the Islanders are 6-2-1 in their past nine games.
Key matchup
John Tavares vs. Tyler Seguin: Or Jamie Benn ... or Martin Hanzal ... or Radek Faksa. Stars coach Ken Hitchcock could try all sorts of matchups to stop Tavares, who has 12 goals and 6 assists in 15 games.
