DAL vs NJ Preview
Last Meeting ( Mar 4, 2025 ) New Jersey 3, Dallas 4
The Dallas Stars' winning streak is over, but they will take a seven-game point streak into their game Wednesday night against the New Jersey Devils in Newark, N.J.
The four-game winning streak was snapped by a 3-2 overtime loss to the host New York Rangers on Tuesday night. Still, the Stars are 5-0-2 in their recent efforts.
Dallas led 2-1 late in the third period but the Rangers tied it with 2:13 left with the goalie pulled for the 6-on-5 advantage.
"I didn't love our effort," Stars' coach Glen Gulutzan said. "I thought that we got a point because of our goalie and our penalty kill. Our penalty was real good. Our goalie was even better. I think that's where we got our point from, otherwise I think we were outplayed."
Casey DeSmith made 38 saves for Dallas, which killed all five of New York's power-play opportunities.
"Not the way I would have liked that one to end," DeSmith said. "It was too good of a game for it to end like that. So, I'm pretty bummed."
Mikko Rantanen and Kyle Capobianco scored for the Stars. It was Capobianco's first goal since March 4, 2023.
Dallas' Tyler Seguin left with a lower-body injury just 1:44 into the game. Gulutzan said after the contest that Seguin was being evaluated and there would be no word about his availability for the game against the Devils until Wednesday.
The Stars are 7-0-4 on the road since Oct. 26, and 9-1-4 away from home overall in 2025-26.
Tuesday night was Dallas captain Jamie Benn's 1,200th game. He has spent his entire career with the Stars.
It was an emotional and physical game that featured 74 penalty minutes, 64 in the second period.
New Jersey has lost two in a row after dropping a 5-3 decision to the Columbus Blue Jackets in Newark on Monday night in which they squandered a 2-0 first-period lead.
Defenseman Brenden Dillon skated in his 1,000th game but he will not remember it fondly. He went to the locker room after a fight with Dmitri Voronkov, 1:01 into the second period. Dillon was back late in the second but he did not play in the third period.
New Jersey led 2-1 at the time of the fight but the Blue Jackets tied it 27 seconds later.
"After [Dillon left], emotions were high," captain Nico Hischier said. "It was 2-2, the game was open, and some mistakes cost us."
Defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler was lost 3:58 into the second period when he was assessed a game misconduct for not having his jersey tied down correctly during a fight.
"I don't like how we handled those situations emotionally," Devils coach Sheldon Keefe said. "Obviously, not long after the situation with [Dillon] they scored, so I don't like that. We've got to do a better job of staying in it emotionally, as hard as it might be."
Hischier had a goal and an assist to extend his point streak to six games (12 points on six goals and six assists). Timo Meier also has a six-game scoring streak (eight points on five goals and three assists) after a goal on Monday.
