Fun fact for those who are not diehard Philadelphia sports fans. The Flyers home arena (since 1996) has had FIVE different names: CoreStates Center First Union Center (my favorite) Wachovia Center Wells Fargo Center And starting this season... Xfinity Mobile Arena.

It's #TexasHockey vs. #LetsGoFlyers tonight at Xfinity Mobile Arena (6 p.m. CT). Last of 12 back-to-backs for the Stars this season! DLLS Stars Pregame Show with Craig Ludwig, @samnestler.bsky.social & me begins at 5:30 p.m. 📺: www.youtube.com/live/ZVu0BFD... #DALvsPHI

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger set a new career mark yesterday at Pittsburgh. Oettinger made 9 saves in a 6-3 win over the Penguins, the fewest saves in a win in his NHL career. The previous mark was 11 saves on January 2, 2025 in a 4-2 win vs. Ottawa. #TexasHockey

The Dallas Stars snap a three-game losing skid and a four-game winless streak (0-3-1) as they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3 at PPG Paints Arena. AND Mikko Rantanen returned from injury and tallied a goal and an assist!

Bourque again! Two empty net goals for Mavrik Bourque from long range. He's now up to 16 goals on the season. 6-3 Stars

Bullseye! Mavrik Bourque scores an empty net goal to put Dallas back up by two goals. That's Bourque's 15th of the season. 5-3 Stars

Noel Acciari scores when an Elmer Soderblom one-timer redirects into the net off Acciari's body. 4-3 Stars

A Swiss Howitzer! Lian Bichsel hammers a one-timer from the mid-point that blazes past a screened Stuart Skinner. That's Bichsel's 4th goal of the season, snapping a 12-game goal drought (Mar. 2 at VAN). 4-2 Stars

Welcome back, Moose!! Mikko Rantanen pounds home a one-timer from the low right circle. That's his 21st goal of the season and the Stars first lead of the game. 3-2 Dallas

It's #TexasHockey vs. #LetsGoPens today at PPG Paints Arena (4 p.m. CT) Mikko Rantanen activated from IR! DLLS Stars Pregame Show with Craig Ludwig & @samnestler.bsky.social begins at 3:30 p.m. (I'll be there for Post Game) 📺: www.youtube.com/live/NlAD4HS... #DALvsPIT

Glen Gulutzan did not announce which goalie would start tomorrow at Pittsburgh. No surprise that Gulutzan did say they would split the games this weekend at Pittsburgh & at Philadelphia. Sentimentally, Casey DeSmith should start against the Penguins, but we'll see what they do.

Other #TexasHockey updates from Gulutzan via @MikeHeika: • Matt Duchene had a maintenance day, did not practice today in Pittsburgh. • Mikko Rantanen is very close to playing. "Certainly will play in at least one of the games this weekend... or maybe both."

Glen Gulutzan tells Mike Heika that Sam Steel will fly back to Dallas to get evaluated and will miss the remainder of the team's road trip. Gulutzan said Steel probably suffered a hip flexor or groin injury. A good sign is the injury wasn't as bad today as yesterday.

The Islanders survive a late push from the Stars and win 2-1, as the Calum Ritchie goal off his skate holds up as the game-winner. Stars have now lost four in a row (0-3-1) and are 1-4-1 in the last 5 GP following their 15-game point streak.

No Shutout Tonight! Thomas Harley makes a great defensive play to create a 4-on-2 counter attack and Matt Duchene scores on a one-timer from Jamie Benn. That's Duchene's 14th goal of the season. 2-1 Islanders

Stars broadcast reporting that Sam Steel has left the bench in the third period. No other info at that time.

Islanders double their lead on a flukey play where Matthew Schaefer's point shot deflects off the skate of Calum Ritchie and dribbles in. 2-0 New York

After all that, the Stars rally falls short as they lose 6-4 to the Devils. In a cruel twist of fate, Casey DeSmith gets tagged with the loss - even though he was brilliant in relief of Jake Oettinger. Stars have lost three straight home games in regulation - road trip time!

Dougie Hamilton, in his 900th career NHL game, scores an empty net goal from deep in his own zone, ending any hopes of a dramatic Stars comeback victory. 6-4 Devils

Mavrik Bourque scores at the top of the crease from Justin Hryckowian on the rush just after the power play expires. That's Bourque's 14th goal of the season. 5-4 Devils

Timo Meier scores short-side high from the right circle moments after Casey DeSmith made an incredible 10-bell save on Nico Hischier. 5-3 Devils

ROBO No. 39! Jason Robertson inches closer to his third career 40-goal season as he collects a cross-crease pass from Nils Lundkvist and beats Jake Allen at the left post. 4-3 Devils

Wyatt Johnston has the 20th 40-goal campaign in #TexasHockey franchise history & the 6th since moving to Dallas: '93-94 - Mike Modano - 50 '15-16 - Jamie Benn - 41 '17-18 - Tyler Seguin - 40 '21-22 - Jason Robertson - 41 '22-23 - Jason Robertson - 46 '25-26 - Wyatt Johnston - 40

WYATT 24 AND 40! Wyatt Johnston scores his 40th goal of the season and his new franchise record 24th PPG of the year. 4-2 Devils

Tonight is the second time in 71 games this season that Jake Oettinger has been pulled by Glen Gulutzan (and staff). The first time was January 6th at Carolina.
