By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Victory Green, the measuring-stick game is tonight, and it is on national television for a reason. Best early offense in the league versus one of the stingiest goals-against marks in the NHL — that is not a soft Tuesday. And Dallas is doing it without Matt Duchene. The facts The Colorado Avalanche (3-2-0) visit the Dallas Stars (2-2-1) tonight at 7:30 p.m. Central at American Airlines Center on ESPN, per NHL.com's game center and the Avalanche preview.

Jake Oettinger was named the NHL's Second Star of the Week af...

By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Victory Green, the Stars have been one of the hardest teams in the league to score on. The problem is they've been almost as hard on themselves. The facts Through five games, Dallas is 2-2-1 with 11 goals for and eight against , per NHL.com's standings. The results: a 4-0 loss to St. Louis in the opener, a 2-1 loss in Nashville, a 5-0 win over San Jose, a 4-0 win in Buffalo and Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss in Pittsburgh. The AP notes the Stars are 0-2 against the Central Division. Jake Oettinger has a .963 save percentage and a 0.74 goals-against average in four starts.

The Avalanche's goaltending h...

Victory Green, the road trip ended with a point instead of two, but Saturday in Pittsburgh still had a lot to like. The Penguins beat the Stars 2-1 in a shootout at PPG Paints Arena, per NHL.com's Wes Crosby. After two scoreless periods, Connor Dewar put Pittsburgh ahead 1:57 into the third with a backhand that went in off Lian Bichsel's stick. Dallas kept pushing, and with 30 seconds left in regulation Tyler Seguin tipped in a Jason Robertson shot to tie it. It was Seguin's first goal since Nov. 15, 2025, and his first point in five games this season, coming back from the torn right ACL he suffered last Dec. 2. "It felt great," Seguin said. "Every day, just trying to get better." It was also his 49th game-tying goal as a Star, passing Dave Gagner for sixth in franchise history. The shootout went four rounds. Seguin and Wyatt Johnston scored for Dallas, and Ben Kindel, Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell scored for Pittsburgh. Arturs Silovs stopped R...

Victory Green, two straight wins, two straight shutouts, and the road trip wraps up tonight in Pittsburgh. The Stars (2-2-0) face the Penguins at PPG Paints Arena at 6 p.m. Central on Prime Video , with radio on The Ticket 96.7-FM and 1310-AM, per DallasStars.com. Pittsburgh is 2-2-1 and winless in three after a 3-2 shootout loss to Columbus on Friday. Yahoo Sports' Dan Kingerski says the Penguins were outshot 45-22 in that one, and tonight finishes their first back-to-back of the season. History is on Dallas' side. The Stars have won eight of their last 10 against Pittsburgh and their last three at PPG Paints Arena, outscoring the Pens 17-5 in those three. Mikko Rantanen is the guy to watch. He had a point on all four goals Thursday in Buffalo and has factored on five straight Stars goals going back to Oct. 5. Per DallasStars.com, a point on the next Dallas goal would make him the first Stars skater to factor on six consecutive team goals since Joe Pavelski in January 20...

Victory Green, two games, two shutouts, and the power play finally showed up. Jake Oettinger made 26 saves Thursday night in Buffalo, and Dallas beat the Sabres 4-0 at KeyBank Center, per NHL.com. That comes right after his 13-save shutout of San Jose on Monday. It's the second time in his career Oettinger has posted back-to-back shutouts , and he's now the third goalie in Stars history to do it more than once, joining Ed Belfour and Cesare Maniago. His shutout streak is at 146:55, the second-longest of his career behind a 154:20 run in 2024. Mikko Rantanen was all over it with a goal and three assists, the 26th four-point game of his career. Jason Robertson opened the scoring at 9:03 of the first, finishing a 2-on-1 with Rantanen by snapping one low to the blocker side. Sam Steel made it 2-0 at 9:36 of the second from high above the slot. Rantanen then backhanded a Nils Lundkvist rebound off the end boards into an open net. Roope Hintz finished it on a feed from Wyatt Jo...

Victory Green, the first win is in the books. Now the Stars take it on the road. Dallas (1-2-0) visits Buffalo (2-1-0) on Thursday at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central , per the AP preview.

AP lists Matt Duchene (lower body), Cameron Hughes (upper body) and Harrison Scott (undisclosed) as out for Dallas. Buffalo lists Josh Doan as day to day and has Jason Zucker and goalie Alex Lyon among its players out. Monday's 5-0 win over San Jose came straight from the coach's game plan. Glen Gulutzan wanted more pucks and more bodies at the net, and he got it. "It was really a simple recipe, and nice to see they were rewarded for it," Gulutzan said, per the Stars' Mike Heika. Dallas outshot the Sharks 26-13 and out-attempted them 66-24. One thing still missing, as Yahoo Sports notes: a power-play goal. The Stars are 0-for-8 with t...

Victory Green, the exhibition fluff is over — Jim Nill just posted the first real roster card of 2026-27. On Monday the Dallas Stars announced a 21-player initial roster: 12 forwards, seven defensemen, two goalies. Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith handle the crease; the blueline features Heiskanen, Harley, Lindell, Bichsel, Myers, Lundkvist, and Capobianco. Up front it’s the usual heavyweights — Robertson, Rantanen, Hintz, Johnston, Seguin, Duchene, Benn — plus Joel Kiviranta as the listed offseason re-add. Five players hit Injured Non-Roster. Friday’s home opener vs. St. Louis (Oct. 2) gets the full AAC treatment: Victory Green Carpet Walk on PNC Plaza around 5 p.m. (fans can line up from 3), Party on PNC Plaza with live music, doors at 6:30, LED bracelets for the enhanced pregame, and a national TV slot on TNT. Miss Texas 2026 Stephanie Wendt drops the puck. After a perfect 4-0-0 preseason, the Dallas Stars (https://rfsportsradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Dallas%20Stars) are ready fo...

Victory Green looks sharp before the real drop — Dallas just finished preseason undefeated. The Stars closed the exhibition slate 4-0-0, allowing just three goals across four games, capped by a 2-1 win over Minnesota. Defense-first identity? Still the franchise DNA. Regular season opens Friday, Oct. 2 vs. St. Louis at American Airlines Center (8 p.m.). Cap chess got real this weekend: Remi Poirier was claimed off waivers by New Jersey after a preseason shutout look, and Colin Blackwell was placed on waivers as Dallas tries to fit a healthy group under the ceiling. Sam Steel's four-year extension (AAV about $3.7M starting next season) locks in a versatile PK piece GM Jim Nill called a valuable asset. Healthy Tyler Seguin and Matt Duchene for opening night would be a big green light. Depth in net for AHL Texas just got thinner — that's the tradeoff.

Antti Neimi  defends 37 shots and scores two assists in debut with Dallas Stars. Stars beat Pittsburgh  Penguins 3-0 Dallas Stars defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins to open the season 3-0. When your NHL team finishes second in scoring, yet six points away from making the postseason rational thinking says you have to make some moves at a goalie. The new additions of Patrick Sharp and Johnny Oduya are big, but tonight Antti Niemi solidified his spot as the #1 goal keeper on this roster. Anitti Niemi is the first goalie in NHL history to get a shut-out and two assists in one game.
