This marks the second matchup of the season between these two teams, with both currently holding 59 points in the standings. The Stars, who recently ended a two-game skid, will look to improve upon their previous encounter where they squandered a 3-1 lead against the Hurricanes, ultimately losing 6-4.
Key players to watch include Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who has been impactful in previous games against Carolina, and Hurricanes' Martin Necas, who leads his team with 51 points. The matchup is critical for both squads as they vie for playoff positioning.
