The Dallas Stars bring their impressive five-game winning streak to the Honda Center as they prepare to face the Anaheim Ducks in a compelling Western Conference matchup on Tuesday night.
Dallas has been showcasing exceptional form, having outscored opponents 20-12 during their recent win streak, while the Ducks have shown remarkable resilience by winning four of their last five games, including a comeback victory against Montreal.
The Stars' league-leading defense, allowing just 2.48 goals per game, will be tested by a Ducks team that previously stunned them with a 4-2 victory in their November meeting.
Jake Oettinger's return to the Stars' crease could prove pivotal, as the netminder brings an impressive 26-11-1 record and 2.32 GAA into the contest, while the Ducks may be without their leading scorer Troy Terry due to illness.
Both teams enter this matchup trending in positive directions, with Dallas seeking revenge for their earlier season loss and Anaheim looking to build on their recent success.
This Western Conference showdown promises to be an intriguing battle between the Stars' defensive prowess and the Ducks' newfound momentum at home.
