The Stars recently beat the Wild 3-2 OT at home thanks to goals from Steve Ott (2) and the OT winner Nicklas Grossman. Goalie Marty Turco stopped 28 of 30 shots for a 32-25-8 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .898 SVPCT. Turco has a 1.44 GAA in winning both starts against Vancouver this season. Steve Ott's linemates Mike Ribeiro and Loui Eriksson have combined for 24pts in six games. The Stars are 14-15-2-2 on the road where they average 2.64 GAG and give up an average 3.18 GAG. They are 3-2 SU in their last five road games where they’ve averaged 3.20 GAG and given up an average 3.00 GAG.  Dallas is one of seven teams in the mix for the final two playoff spots in the West, but bad news is they have not won three straight since a season-high five-game streak Jan. 21-Feb. 3.

The Canucks recently beat the Avs 4-2 at home thanks to goals from Kyle Wellwood, Alexandre Burrows, Taylor Pyatt and Alex Edler. Goalie Roberto Luongo stopped 18 of 20 shots for a 25-9-6 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .916 SVPCT. Luongo missed Vancouver's first game of the season against the Stars, a 3-2 shootout home loss on Jan. 4, because of a strained groin that sidelined him 24 games. Luongo is 4-1-2 with a 1.81 GAA against the Stars since the start of the 2006-07 season. The Canucks are a league-best 14-3-1 since the start of February and they look to set a franchise record 10 straight home wins tonight.  The Canucks are 20-11-1-3 at home where they average 3.17 GAG and give up an average 2.43 GAG. They are 5-0 SU in their last five home games where they’ve averaged 3.60 GAG and given up an average 1.60 GAG.
