A (blurry) sneak peek at Jake Oettinger’s Team USA gear and mask.

Hanging out at Wild Fork Foods in Lewisville for the next couple hours.

Come say hi and eat some incredible food with DLLS!

Big one right now in women’s hockey from Milan.

USA vs Norovirus.

Hell yes.

Mavrik Bourque up top on PP2 with Thomas Harley in the bumper, and Harley makes it happen on his own rebound after a deflection on Bourque's shot.

I could get on board with this version of Mavrik Bourque.

Holy crap, Duchene went nuts on that forecheck.

Second time in as many games Dallas has blown a three-goal third-period lead.

Where you at Jason Robertson and Thomas Harley?

Ay yay yay,

Ruh roh.

This feels like a commanding 4-1 lead.

Wow, that's such a good pass by Sam Steel, Jamie Benn just unable to get enough on it on the 2-on-1.

But then Benn makes up for it with a nice little backhand saucer, and Mavrik Bourque goes down to a knee and BLASTS his second one-timer past Hill from the right circle.

That's called a tic-tac-toe forecheck. What a play, and what a finish by Mavrik Bourque.

I have really liked this trio together.

Yeesh. Miro Heiskanen's D-to-D rim attempt bounces right into the slot.

1-1.

I think Theodore got a piece of that, but that rush is exactly what Hryckowian brings to this line.

Hard to the net and nearly cashed in another elite Rantanen pass.

Excellent, excellent first period on the road for Dallas in Las Vegas.

This game has settled in to classic Stars-Knights.

Low event and sound defending. They bring it out in each other.

30.01.2026 03:37 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Jason Robertson is also a very good passer.

30.01.2026 03:23 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Duchene feelin’ it.

Wow.

Identical games Friday and Tuesday lol.

I could be wrong, but that rush looks like a defenseman (Nils Lundkvist) still thinking man on man from last season. He evacuated the slot, chased a forward to the corner, and Schenn was left all alone on the backside with not enough forward help back.

3-2.

28.01.2026 03:09 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

This could be quite the swing.

The ol' "leave the entire box on the penalty kill open" from the Blues there.

Great pass by Robertson, but I think just about anybody could've found that lane to Hintz on the backside.

Stars PP is back.

Oh my, if that Johnston pass connected with Rantanen, it's a highlight reel. What vision from No. 53.

Blues PP coming up. Dallas with too many men.

28.01.2026 02:20 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Are the floodgates open for Matt Duchene?

28.01.2026 02:10 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Lol Mikko Rantanen's passing is flat-out absurd. Matt Duchene is hot on the PP.

Both good signs.

28.01.2026 02:08 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

SUCH a good recovery by Capobianco there.

Snuggerud won the race, poked the puck around Capobianco, but he was able to retreat, read the play, and get into the right spot to intercept a centering pass.

28.01.2026 01:37 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Nearly flawless PK for Dallas.

Stacked up the blue line on entries, and when STL did get in the zone, the Stars forced them to the wall and quickly won possession and sent it down.

According to ESPN broadcast, Tyler Seguin is also on this three-game road trip.
