NHL Dallas Stars vs Edmonton Oilers Live Streaming
The Stars and Oilers split the season series last season with each winning a pair of games at home. Dallas won 4-2 and 4-3 at American Airlines Center while the Oilers won 5-2 and 4-1 at Rexall Place. Edmonton will try to rebound from a brutal loss to arch-rival Calgary in its season opener. The Flames scored the winning goal on Nikolai Khabibulin, who ventured too far out of the net, with 48.7 seconds left to play. Meanwhile, Dallas lost in a shootout to Nashville, but came back from a 2-0 deficit to force the extra time and skills competition.
James Neal was hoping to build on his 24-goal rookie season from a year ago and he's off to a good start. The second-year forward scored both of Dallas' goals in its season-opening shootout loss to Nashville. The Stars may also have a rookie on their shutdown line tonight. Tom Wandell, who has 15 games of NHL experience, could replace Mike Modano (sore ribs), who has 1,401 games of NHL experience.
Modano's sore ribs could keep him out of tonight's game, making way for Wandell, a Swede who played mostly in his home country last season because Dallas didn't have an AHL affiliate. Jere Lehtinen has been hampered by hip and groin injuries that kept him out of the season opener. He's questionable for tonight. Edmonton could be without Moreau (infected left ankle). Marc Pouliot (inflamed pubic bone) practiced with the team Monday for the first time since getting hurt in a preseason game Sept. 24 against Tampa Bay. He remains on IR.
