Stars aim for 6th in row vs. ailing Canucks
DALLAS -- Sunday afternoon's game between the Vancouver Canucks and Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center is a textbook study in contrasts.
One team, Vancouver (21-28-6, 48 points) has lost four straight, including a 4-1 setback at Carolina on Friday, and the Canucks are currently down five players due to injury.
In Friday's loss, Vancouver was without forward Brock Boeser (hand), centers Sam Gagner (ankle), Brendan Gaunce (foot) and Markus Granlund (ankle), and defenseman Chris Tanev (lower body).
Boeser is day-to-day and could return for Sunday's game in Dallas, but it's hard to deny what a huge shadow all these injuries have cast over the team.
