Los Angeles Kings News & Notes:

Dallas Stars News & Notes:

Dallas is in the middle of trade speculation with Seth Jones in Chicago. While the player would help immediately, it could become another long term anchor on their team. Dallas is in a comfortable playoff position with plenty of assets and cap space to make additions.
