Homestands for the Stars these days are pretty brief, so coach Ken Hitchcock said he has to find ways to keep his team healthy and energized.
Dallas is in the middle of a stretch where it will have four solo-game homestands, and there are times when those games feel like road games. So when you mix in road games around the home games, then time in North Texas can become pretty valuable.
Next up for the Stars is their first visit to Las Vegas, where they will meet the expansion Golden Knights on Tuesday. Vegas is the surprise leader of the Pacific Division, with wins in five consecutive games and eight victories in a row at home.
