Projected lineups for Ducks, Stars
DALLAS-- Here are the projected lineups for a game Saturday between the Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center.

DUCKS

Niklas Hagman - Ryan Getzlaf - Corey Perry
Bobby Ryan - Saku Koivu - Teemu Selanne
Andrew Cogliano - Ryan O’Marra - Matt Beleskey
Jason Blake - Rod Pelley - Devante Smith-Pelly

Francois Beauchemin - Cam Fowler

Injuries: Nick Bonino (lower body), Dan Ellis (sports hernia).
Scratches: Nate Guenin, George Parros

Notes:  The Ducks head into Saturday after losing 3-1 in St. Louis on Thursday, the first game of a three-game road trip. Anaheim is 0-3-0 against the Stars in Dallas this season, most recently losing 1-0 on Jan. 24 in the final game for both clubs before the NHL All-Star break. The Ducks have dropped four of their last six games and No. 1 goaltender Jonas Hiller has lost three consecutive starts between the pipes for Bruce Boudreau’s club. Anaheim recalled center Ryan O’Marra from Syracuse of the AHL on Saturday with Nick Bonino picking up a lower-body injury in the loss to the Blues. O’Marra had 17 points (8-9-17) and was a plus-17 player for Oklahoma City before being traded to the Ducks organization.

STARS

Loui Eriksson - Mike Ribeiro - Michael Ryder
Brenden Morrow - Jamie Benn - Steve Ott
Eric Nystrom - Vernon Fiddler - Radek Dvorak
Ryan Garbutt - Tom Wandell - Adam Burish

Alex Goligoski - Stephane Robidas
Mark Fistric - Trevor Daley
Philip Larsen - Adam Pardy

Kari Lehtonen
Richard Bachman

Scratches: Toby Petersen, Tomas Vincour, Jake Dowell
Injuries: Sheldon Souray (lower body)

Notes:  The Stars head into this contest with the Ducks on a nine-game point streak. Dallas is 8-0-1 dating back to their last loss in regulation on Feb. 19 against the Predators.  On Thursday, the Stars beat the Sharks 4-3 in a shootout with Tomas Vincour getting a game-tying goal late in the third period and also the deciding tally in the shootout. Winger Michael Ryder is currently on an eight-game point streak. The Stars are 4-1-0 in their four games against the Ducks this year and are averaging four points a game against Anaheim, having outscored them by 20-8. This game concludes a short two-game homestand for Dallas. The Stars could get captain Brenden Morrow back after he missed 18 games in a row with a lower body injury. Steve Ott could also return after missing the San Jose game with back spasms.
