Stars Face Canucks in Pivotal Clash Without Heiskanen
Alright, hockey fans, get ready for an exciting showdown as the Vancouver Canucks take on the Dallas Stars tonight at the American Airlines Center. Both teams are riding a wave of momentum, making this a must-watch battle. But there’s a major shake-up—Dallas will be without their star defenseman, Miro Heiskanen, who’s sidelined with a knee injury. How will the Stars adjust without him? And can the Canucks capitalize on this opening? Let’s break it all down.
The Stars have been on fire, winning three straight and four of their last five. Their offense, led by Roope Hintz, has been clicking, and their home record speaks for itself—18-7-1 this season. On the other side, the Canucks are also streaking, coming off a 3-1 win over the Predators to wrap up a three-game road trip. With Quinn Hughes leading the charge—he’s got 58 points so far—the Canucks are looking to keep rolling.

This is the first meeting between these two squads this season, but both Hintz and Hughes will be seeing a lot of each other soon at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Hughes will be repping Team USA, while Hintz suits up for Finland. But before that, they’ve got a big game to handle tonight.
One big question mark? Goaltending. Thatcher Demko is expected in net for Vancouver, and he’s had a bit of a rough stretch, with a .877 save percentage this season. Meanwhile, Jake Oettinger will likely start for Dallas, boasting a solid .912 save percentage. The Canucks need Demko to step up big if they want to steal this one on the road.
From a betting standpoint, the Stars are the favorites, given their recent form and home ice advantage. But don’t count Vancouver out—they’ve been resilient and could take advantage of Dallas missing Heiskanen. Expect a fast-paced game with a lot of offense, and possibly a close finish.
