Brian Sutherby News

The hits just keep coming. Brian Sutherby tweaked a groin in practice yesterday, and as we have seen before, it tightened up overnight.

Dallas Stars forward Jere Lehtinen is hampered by a groin injury and will not play against San Jose on Thursday night, a team official said.

The Dallas Stars are likely to get a trio of players back for tonight's home contest versus the Calgary Flames at American Airlines Center.

Mike Modano #9 of the Dallas Stars skates into position during the game against the Anaheim Ducks on April 10, 2009 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

With good health comes some tough choices for the Stars. Tough choices, but good choices, coach Marc Crawford said.

The cats are up 3-0 with a little over three minutes to go in a game versus the Dallas Stars.

A pair of teams that have been both going well as of late face off tonight at Nashville's Sommet Center, where the high-scoring Dallas Stars will attempt to knock off a Predators team in search of a third straight win.

The Dallas Stars lead the Predators 2-1 after the second period. The Stars broke a 1-1 tie with 17:45 left in the second period when Brian Sutherby scored his fourth goal of the season.

By MIKE HEIKA DALLAS - There was much for a Dallas Stars fan to be concerned about in a 6-5 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers on Friday night at American Airlines Center.There was the lack of success in the NHL tiebreaker.

Mike Modano still has the Olympic dream. In what could be his final season in the NHL and his last chance at wearing Team USA colors, Modano realizes his time is precious.

To say the Maple Leafs released some pent-up frustration in their first win of the season on Monday would be an understatement.

Loui Eriksson had a goal and an assist, Marty Turco made 26 saves and the Dallas Stars beat the St.

Marty Turco received the brunt of Brenden Morrow's enthusiasm in a recent game. While Turco was trying to focus on an odd-man rush, Morrow came barreling in on the backcheck and took out the attacking forward, Turco and the goal frame all in one fell swoop.

The Stars have assigned Perttu Lindgren to Texas and called up Francis Wathier. My guess is this means that even if Brad Richards is not ready to play, that the Stars like Toby Petersen or Tom Wandell as the No.

I will tell you one thing about Marc Crawford, he is not afraid of drilling these guys in practice.

As the young season continues after their Western Canadian road trip the Stars find themselves in an interesting spot, a limbo that is hard to choose whether it is bad or good.

Alex Auld made 21 saves in his Dallas debut to help the Stars win for the first time this season, 5-2 over the Calgary Flames on Friday night.

By MIKE HEIKA DALLAS - Stars coach Marc Crawford was just getting used to his new job in the summer when he stopped by to watch some of the players skating casually in a pick-up game and a certain player continually caught his eye.'I was like, 'Who is this guy?' ' Crawford said as he described his first experience with young winger Loui ...

It's so hard to read exactly what to take out of a preseason exhibition against your AHL affiliate, but I will fall back on the old Alex Auld line and say this is much better than the alternative.

That looked like a bad goal. David Backes alone in the slot in transition and just flipped one through Marty Turco.
