Anze Kopitar has scored a goal in each of the team's first three games of the season. With five tallies in total, Kopitar is tied for second in the NHL lead in goals early in the season.
No defenseman has more points so far this season than Drew Doughty's seven. Doughty is also tied for the league-lead among all skaters with six assists.
Stars Notes:
Entering tonight's game, Dallas is currently the second-best team in the Western Conference in terms of goals allowed (2.25 per game), but is also the lowest-scoring team in the Western Conference (2.0 goals-per-game),
Fresh off an eight-year extension this summer, defenseman Miro Heiskanen leads all Dallas defensemen with three points (1-2-3) from four games played this season.
Who to Watch:
The line of Phillip Danault, Alex Iafallo and Adrian Kempe is one of the NHL's best in terms of creating chances, controlling more than two-thirds of shot attempts when on the ice together. Look for an eventual breakthrough from that trio, with more information available
