Mikael Granlund scored his inaugural goal for the Dallas Stars, leading the team to a 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Alongside Granlund, Thomas Harley, Jason Robertson, and Mikko Rantanen also lit the lamp. Dallas, having recently acquired Granlund and Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks, showcased their offensive strength despite missing star center Roope Hintz due to injury. In net, Casey DeSmith stopped 22 of 23 shots, marking a successful return to his former team. Vancouver struggled, with Derek Forbort providing their lone score and the team facing challenges in the playoff race.
