Thus ends the Stars home stand, not with a whimper but a bang. In five games played at home since Tuesday, December 13, the Stars have gone 3-1-1. Prior to the home stand, after that disastrous weekend on the road in Philadelphia and Chicago, Lindy Ruff said this home stand could define the rest of the season for the Stars.
Here’s hoping it does.

Early indications have Oleksiak playing defense and the Stars potentially rotating center through 4th line of Cracknell and Hudler.

With Antoine Roussel sustaining an upper body injury during practice on Wednesday, the Stars made some noise yesterday about playing Jamie Oleksiak at forward.
