Game Context
The Stars are coming off a dominant 6-1 victory against the Vancouver Canucks. After an optional morning skate, they look poised to stretch their strong performance against the Flames. There is optimism that Roope Hintz could return for this matchup, having missed three games due to illness.
On the other side, Calgary’s Zayne Parekh will return to the lineup after missing the previous game. The Flames seek to improve their fortunes and bounce back from a narrow 3-2 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
