Dallas Stars at New York Islanders: Game Info, Broadcast, Injuries
This afternoon, the Dallas Stars will play the first game of their back-to-back in New York.
The Dallas Stars will take on the Islanders today, then the Rangers tomorrow night.
The Islanders have been better than most people expected this year after losing their captain to the Leafs. They’ve got a similar record to the Stars, but they are second in the Metro.
The Eastern Conference is all over the place this year, so who knows if that’ll end up sticking in April, but for now, they’re in a playoff spot.

During this back-to-back, expect Ben Gleason and Roope Hintz to get some playing time. This week is a long one for the Stars with five games in seven days, so the new call-ups will certainly get swapped into the line-up at some point.
Gleason and Hintz are up to provide a few extra players, since the Stars don’t have anyone to healthy scratch on the roster at this point.
Both Gleason and Hintz have spent time with the Stars this season. Gleason was up for a pair of games a week ago, and Hintz started the season with the team before being sent down to work on things in the AHL.
Ben Bishop and Anton Khudobin will definitely be continuing to switch back and forth almost nightly for the foreseeable future, with three pairs of back-to-backs in the next two weeks.
