The Dallas Stars face the Vancouver Canucks Friday night for the first time this season. Entering Friday's match, the Stars are 32-17-1 while the Canucks are 23-17-10. The teams face each other two more times this season on March 9 (Vancouver) and April 8 (Dallas).

The Dallas Stars take on the Vancouver Canucks with a three win streak on the line. Dallas has a 32-17-1 record overall and an 18-7-1 record in home games. The Stars have gone 12-4-0 in games they score at least one power-play goal.

It was obvious the Canucks — who traded Miller shortly before the puck dropped — were playing short-handed in their 5-3 loss to Dallas.
