The Dallas Stars, reeling from a road loss, host an injury-hit but dangerous Florida Panthers in a high-stakes matchup with a key goalie duel.

Amid an injury-riddled campaign, the Florida Panthers are taking a chance on a potential reinforcement for Brad Marchand and the rest of the team.

Despite the Stars’ recent winning form and success in the past handful of seasons, Dallas has lost its last five meetings against Florida. You have to go back to January of 2023, the last time the Stars beat the Panthers. The Stars will hope to buck that trend on Saturday, and here’s what you need to know going into the matchup:

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Jack Roslovic scored two goals and the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers 6-3 at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday.

The Florida Panthers have been struggling lately, losing several games and finding themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

The Colorado Avalanche honored the Stanley Cup champions from 30 years ago, then the current club worked over the two-time defending champs.

The matchup will make NHL history as the southernmost outdoor game. It also will mark the 17th NHL Winter Classic since the tradition began in 2008.

At least, longtime forward Claude Lemieux believes so. He's been on four Stanley Cup-winning teams, including the ‘95-96 Avalanche squad. This team, he surmised after watching a 6-2 win over the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers, has all the necessary ingredients.

A former three-time Stanley Cup champion in the NHL voiced a strong message on Craig Berube, which could serve as a reminder for Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
