Dallas is settling in after the Trade Deadline, only playing two games against the Canucks since deadline day. The Stars will play every other night for the next two weeks and look to get into rhythm with Mikko Rantanen in the top six.

Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:

Scott Arniel announced today that defenseman Neal Pionk will be out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. This is a statement game for both teams, but Winnipeg will look to stand strong as the dominant force in the Central Division with a victory over the Stars tonight.
