Thought Glen Gulutzan had a thoughtful response today when asked about starting Dylan and Justin Hryckowian on the ice together last night:

Tyler Seguin was maintenance today. Esa Lindell skated in Frisco. Glen Gulutzan said he’ll get an update later today. Gulutzan said he’s hopeful that David Perron will play during the homestand but is still anticipating a two-week timeline to get him in game shape.

For Pete DeBoer, time seems to heal all wounds... In his return to American Airlines Center, the former Stars coach said he's only looking forward after an unceremonious exit, and Dallas is doing the same 🏒 | #TexasHockey More from @Lassimak: dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

DeBoer's exit was anything but graceful, but the Islanders coach and the Stars turned the page with his first game back.

In his first return to Dallas since being fired 16 months ago, Pete DeBoer didn't want to look backwards. Now with that milestone game behind him, he and his former team can both finally move on. ⤵️ dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

A shorthanded group of Stars continue to persevere with some help from Cedar Park. Jason Robertson led the Stars to one of their best offensive performances of the season. ⤵️ dallasnews.com/sports/stars/…

Gulutzan said he doesn’t expect Faksa, Steel or Perron for Tuesday. Said he expects Steel back first from that group.

End of first: Stars 2, Islanders 1 The Stars had just four goals in the first period all season before today — the fewest in the league. Tonight they have two, and the lead, after an action-packed start.
