The Dallas Stars aim to break their losing streak in their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena, with a focus on avoiding penalties after recent issues allowing four power-play goals in an OT loss to San Jose. Jake Oettinger is expected to start in goal, seeking to regain his form following a poor performance. The team also plans to leverage Jamie Benn's return, who needs to be effective offensively and stay out of fights, to help secure a win. Key strategies include shutting down Kings' star Kevin Fiala, who has 16 goals and 15 assists, and preventing the Kings from gaining power-play opportunities. The game is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN+. Injury reports highlight absences for both teams, with Stars' Tyler Seguin and Bichsel out, and Kings' Kopitar and Moore sidelined. The game emphasizes disciplined play and strong goaltending to earn two points and improve standings in the Western Conference.
