Along to Detroit, where the Red Wings welcome the Dallas Stars. Anton Khudobin and Jonathan Bernier are the backups in goal. Dallas began in the first period with a Roope Hintz goal, his second of the season, coming off of Miro Heiskanen and the goalie Khudobin. The Stars added on with a Tyler Seguin goal, with a lone assist by Jamie Oleksiak.
