About the Stars

The Stars are coming off a 5-3 loss in Detroit Thursday night. I The Stars built a 3-1 lead, but the Red Wings scored three straight goals during a span of just under five minutes late in the second period and early in the third to take the lead. "Anytime you play the Red Wings you have to play a complete 60 minutes and we didn't get that done," said Stars forward Stu Barnes. It was the Stars' fourth loss in the last five games. The Stars have allowed 12 third period goals over the last six games.

Injuries:  D Philippe Boucher (shoulder) and D Sergei Zubov (groin/foot) are out. C/LW Steve Ott (suspension) is out

About the Canucks
The Canucks dropped their second straight game, falling 2-0 in Phoenix Thursday night.  "We were not good enough," said Canucks forward Daniel Sedin. "That's the bottom line. We have to get back to the way we used to play. Right now, I think everyone is pushing almost too much. We're over-forechecking, over-backchecking, over-thinking the game right now." It's been 11 games since the Sedin twins, Markus Naslund and Taylor Pyatt have scored a goal.

Injuries: D Aaron Miller (shoulder), D Mattias Ohlund (knee) and D Lukas Krajicek (shoulder) are out.
