Check out Fran Duffy’s 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/
Now THAT was more like the Dallas Stars hockey we’ve grown accustomed to this season! Returning to American Airlines Centers after a four-game East Coast road trip and a stretch with just one win in their last seven (1-4-2), the Stars brought back the emotion and intensity into their game against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night that head coach Glen Gulutzan had challenged his group to rediscover after a lackluster two weeks of play. We have a special guest in-studio today, as our friend Mike Heika, senior writer for Dallas Stars-dot-com, joins us to talk about this challenge and response. We’ll also look at Jake Oettinger’s play this season, especially since the Olympic break. Then we’ll dive into Jim Nill’s contract extension, Rich Peverley’s promotion to assistant general manager and AGM Scott White being linked to the Nashville Predators GM search. We’ll finish things off with a look at the up-to-date NHL playoff races in both conferences.
