just now, Logan Stankoven said he's not longer living in a hotel.
He said he has moved in at Chateau Pavelski and has a room next to linemate Wyatt Johnston. Said he has been there for a few weeks.

Per
#NHLStats
:
Miro Heiskanen became the fourth defenseman in NHL history to record at least 60 playoff points before age 25.
The others: Paul Coffey (92), Bobby Orr (66) and Cale Makar (65).

I’ve been sitting on this for a bit, but August 15th was my last day as the Dallas Stars radio host. I have resigned from the broadcast team after 10 years due to a new opportunity that was simply too good to pass up.

I just asked Tyler Seguin if he was looking forward to facing his long time teammate Jamie Oleksiak tonight:
"The Big Rig! (with a big smile) I'll probably chip [the puck] in his corner and let Jamie [Benn] go after it."
OH....MY... GOD!!! If you haven't heard the Finnish play-by-play of the Game 7 OT GWG by Joel Kiviranta, you're missing out. Crank the speakers!

Matt Duchene said he would definitely love to be back next year.
Fans should find the video of his media scrum when the team posts it, as he went into detail about his season and dealing with the emotions of being bought out by Nashville and finding a new home here.
Jake Oettinger is looking forward to having a full summer of training after dealing with an injury & surgery last summer (although he wished they were still playing). He feels really good about where he is at and says he knows what he can do to get to the next level of his game.
Chris Tanev described his Game 4 injury:
Hit by the puck, next shift stepped on the ice and felt something pop in his ankle, thought it might be something big like his Achilles - just some of the tendons behind his ankle. No surgery and will be fine in a couple weeks.
Joe said he will not continue to house Wyatt Johnston and Logan Stankoven, as his family plans to move back to Wisconsin. However, he laughed and said he’d definitely be staying in touch with them.
Hockey Hall-of-Famer Mark Messier just said on
@espn
that he would have loved to play with
@jamiebenn14
… but definitely wouldn’t have wanted to play against him.
What a compliment from a hockey legend!
#TexasHockey
Last night was the longest Game 7 in Stars franchise history.
Ben Bishop set new franchise Game 7 records for:
Time On Ice - 85:50
Saves - 52
Shots Faced - 54
Save Percentage - 0.963
Saves In One Period - 18
His 1.40 GAA was the 2nd-lowest in franchise history in a Game 7.

Here's that Jamie Benn hit early on Brayden McNabb in the first period on the same shift just after McNabb cleaned Logan Stankoven off his feet. Two teeth-rattling big boy hits to set the tone.
Jason Robertson scores the GWG in overtime to finish off his first career NHL hat trick in his 100th career NHL game.
Robertson's career stat line:
100 GP
43 Goals
54 Assists
97 Points
The TV broadcast emphasized the monster hit by Brayden McNabb on Logan Stankoven, but did anyone else see the steamroller redemption hit by Jamie Benn on McNabb moments later?
#FreightTrain
Mason Marchment gets cross-checked from behind by Zach Hyman. Hyman gets two for the infraction and Marchment gets two for embellishment.
I don't agree with the embellishment call.
My take away is probably not what most people will remember… but I hear those two “STARS!” chants from the crowd and it makes me happy. Well done,

forward Jason Robertson was just named the Team USA player of the game (1 goal, 1 assist) as the Americans win the Bronze medal over Germany.

Trevor Zegras gets a 2-minute penalty for playing with an illegal stick - he broke his stick, dropped it and then ripped Kiviranta's stick out of his hands and skated away with it.
I've been working in pro hockey for almost 20 years and I don't remember ever seeing that. 😂
The Calgary Flames have claimed Stars defenseman Joel Hanley off waivers. It’s a bittersweet moment, because the organization loses a tremendous human being and the ideal depth defenseman. On the flip side, it’s great for Joel to remain in the NHL.
Stars forward Jason Robertson will play in his 100th career
@NHL
game tonight at Winnipeg.
Robertson has 94 points (40 goals, 54 assists) so far in his 99 career NHL games.
Over the past 20 seasons, there are only 11 players who have 94+ points in their first 99 career GP:
IT'S A FESTIVUS MIRACLE!
The Stars just scored two goals in 11 seconds to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead. Craig Smith tied it 6-on-5 with the net empty and 13.0 seconds remaining. Then Jani Hakanpää pounds home a slap shot with 3.2 seconds left.
Stars Win 3-2!
Did you attend the 2020 Winter Classic at the Cotton Bowl? Check out this really cool feature and see if you can find yourself. I was at my seat in the press box.
?
Fun moment just now at the AAC:
NSH getting on the ice for their morning skate & Denis Gurianov skates by as I was walking out the tunnel to head back to the seats. I didn’t even know he was called up. He gave me a big hug & said he’s excited for his 1st NHL game of the season.
A quick thread from today's Pete DeBoer media availability prior to the
#TexasHockey
charter flight to Edmonton:
• Roope Hintz is traveling and will be a game-time decision. DeBoer said "I’m optimistic he’s going to play on this trip for sure."
The Stars and Kraken are going to make NHL history tonight.
This is not hyperbole, it will be the first-ever NHL game featuring two defensemen carrying double-digit point streaks:
Vince Dunn (12 GP, 4-13-17)
Miro Heiskanen (10 GP, 3-14-17)

Tanev said he really enjoyed his time here & would love to be back. Thinks the team is set up for success & to win. He feels very fortunate to be here.
One particularly big thing: the way the organization treated his family made a huge difference: “They treated them like gold.”

head coach Jim Montgomery has released a statement just now, his first public comments since his dismissal.
Personally, I really like Monty and think he's a very good hockey coach. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Season opener is Saturday, Feb 25 vs. Minnesota.
Reaves just came at Esa Lindell from the blindside and Lindell did not have possession of the puck. Even if it wasn't from the blindside, that's the definition of interference.
The
@DallasStars
have acquired defenseman Chris Tanev from the
@NHLFlames
in a three-team deal that also included the
@NJDevils
, which allowed the Stars to get Tanev at 25% of his $4.5M AAV.
Here’s how it went down:
With the victory last night, Jake Oettinger recorded his 40th win of the 2022 calendar year, which is the most of any goaltender in the entire NHL.
#TexasHockey
Pete also said that he felt the team was starting to run on fumes at the end of the series with Colorado and it was really important to end the series in 5 or 6 games to get some rest.
"You can fill your tank up pretty quickly with a 4 or 5 day break, so critical break for us."
Chris Tanev told the TNT broadcast that he did not lose a tooth during Game 5 at the AAC. He had his lip driven into a tooth, so he had to have his lip pulled off his tooth and then stitched up. And then he returned to playing shortly thereafter.
Pete DeBoer said after Game 2 that he felt the Dallas Stars were tentative for much of the 1st period, basically waiting for something to happen. He loved their 2nd & 3rd periods.
By my unofficial count the scoring chances were:
First 14:30 -- 10-3 EDM
Last 45:30 -- 30-9 DAL
Mats Zuccarello had to freeze his arm down every game of the playoffs. Took 3-4 needles for every game. Not ideal, but wanted to play.
“Lose some strength on shooting and the feel of the puck. Some games worse than others. No excuses of course, but always better to be healthy.”
Stars beat the Avalanche 7-4 tonight at Ball Arena.
DAL now has a 5-point lead over COL with 4 games left.
Stars' magic number to clinch the Central Division is down to 4 points.
Stars also set new franchise records for road wins (26) and road points (57) in a single season.
Wyatt Johnston unselfishly passes to Sam Steel for an empty net goal, when he could've gone for the hat trick. Nice team play. That's Steel's first goal of the playoffs.
5-1 Stars
The Oilers take Game 4 by a 5-2 score.
Before Game 3 if you said the Stars would earn a split in Edmonton, you'd be pleased. But we all got greedy & dreamt of winning both. The margins are thin, this series won't be easy & it's now a best-of-3.
Big concern: Chris Tanev's health
Stars head coach Pete DeBoer said after the game the team wasn't happy with their performance in the face off circles after two periods: 7-of-27 (25.9%).
DeBoer said they addressed some things; Dallas went 19-1 (95.0%) in the third period, which is insanely good!
#TexasHockey

Max Domi and Kirill Kaprizov exchange unpleasantries before and after the whistle.
The AAC crowd chants "Domi, Domi" as he is escorted off the ice.
Both got 10-minute misconducts.
#TexasHockey
Morning Skate Update:
• Scott Wedgewood’s tests came back with good news. According to DeBoer it’s “not too serious.” He actually went for a skate this morning and is listed as day-to-day.
• Miro Heiskanen is skating regularly and is going on the next road trip…
Monday Morning
#TexasHockey
Media Availability with Pete DeBoer:
• Began by acknowledging Rick Bowness & spoke glowingly about him as both a coach and person.
• He has hope for both Marchment & Hakanpää to play in this series. They will both skate tomorrow & we shall see.
Please take a moment to appreciate the incredible playoff performance of Nathan MacKinnon. Best player on the planet! He scared me every time he had the puck on his stick. Heck of a hockey player!
The Stars take down the defending Stanley Cup champions, winning Game 7 by a 2-1 score - Wyatt Johnston and Radek Faksa (GWG) scored the goals, Jake Oettinger stops 21-of-22.
Pete DeBoer is 8-0 in Game 7s, Joe Pavelski is 8-3.
Happy Handshakes in Dallas:

Ricardo Pepi has, deservedly, been getting all the attention lately (El Tren had a heck of a week). But I think we need to also recognize the rise of Jesus Ferreira over the past month.
In his last 7 GP, Ferreira has 4 goals & 1 assist, with a passing percentage of 86.6%.

Today was a difficult one. This morning we lost a member of the Newkirk Clan. Ryker was our first dog as a couple & we enjoyed his dachshund joy for nearly 15 years. The senior years never diminished his spirit (even showed a flash of youthful exuberance on New Year’s Day 2021).
If the "Road to the NHL Winter Classic" film crew didn't know this already, they do now.
Dobby should have a permanent camera entourage following him at all times!
The atmosphere on Monday night at the AAC is going to be incredible.
The Stars will get their captain, Jamie Benn, back from his two-game suspension.
Vegas will suddenly be dealing with a little bit of doubt as they fail to close out the Stars twice.

The Dallas Stars have traded forward Ty Dellandrea to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Winnipeg’s 2025 fourth-round draft pick, previously acquired by the Sharks.

Pete DeBoer ended his postgame media scrum in Vegas yesterday with a hilarious insight into the Stars’ celebratory tradition this season in the dressing room. Safe to say beating VGK meant a lot!

Ben Bishop's hockey career is over. He will remain on LTIR for the rest of this year and next season, when his contract expires, then he will officially retire from the NHL.
Such a shame to end this way. When healthy, Bishop was one of the top goalies in the world.
After more than a year trying to return from knee surgery, Stars goaltender Ben Bishop’s career is over, general manager Jim Nill said Saturday morning.
How about this for organizational symmetry?

Miro Heiskanen with the 2nd assist on Oleksiak's goal, his 18th helper of the 2020 playoffs.
With that assist, Heiskanen has set a new record for the most assists in a single playoff year by a Finnish player.
The Dallas Stars win Game 3 by a score of 5-3, taking a 2-1 series lead and reclaiming home ice advantage in the Western Conference Final.
Dallas has won 4-straight road games and is now 6-1 in 7 road playoff games this year. The only road loss was Game 6 at Vegas.
