Stars-Sabres: Time for Stars' superstars to step up?

STARS at SABRES

Noon today (FSSW/570AM)*Game moved from The Ticket for today

Storyline

The Stars need points. They sit four points out of the second wildcard playoff spot in the Western Conference and they have been bouncing back and forth around .500. They need to win games, and facing the Sabres should be an opportunity to post a win.

Key match-up

Jack Eichel vs. John Klingberg

Klingberg has been on a roll, tallying 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in the past 12 games. Eichel is the slick forward taken second overall last season who has 15 points (8 goals, 7 assists) since returning from a high ankle sprain that kept him out the first 21 games of the season.
