Stars Lose Preseason Game To Wild 5-2

The Dallas Stars lost 5-2 to the Minnesota Wild in their second preseason game. The team is 1-1-0 in the preseason.

Dallas lost the game against Minnesota. Roope Hintz was injured in the first period. Jared Rosburg and Brandon Baddock were involved in a fight. Ty Dellandrea didn't return to the match. The team's main focus is to get out of the games with minimal injuries. The game ended in defeat. It was the team’s first game of preseason.

Stars lose preseason game to Wild 5-2. Special teams played a big role in the game. Dallas had seven shorthanded goals all of last season. They have scored two in three preseason games this year. Dallas seems to be looking for an outlet pass or carry out option when on the penalty kill.

The Stars are giving extended looks to their young players for their opening night roster decisions. Logan Stankoven, Wyatt Johnston, and Mavrik Bourque all played again. Nils Lundkvist played top-pairing minutes with Miro Heiskanen. He scored on the power play to make it 4-2, but the Stars lost the game 5-3.

Anton Khudobin played the whole game. It was his first game since his hip surgery this past spring. Khadobin is still recovering from that surgery. He will probably get sent for a conditioning stint in October. Dallas will play their last home preseason game next Monday, October 3rd versus the Colorado Avalanche. Their regular season home opener is on October 15th against the Nashville Predators.
