Status report
Neither team had a morning skate. ... The Stars will use the same lineup from a 3-0 win against the Panthers on Wednesday, coach Rick Bowness said. Oettinger will start after Khudobin made 43 saves. ... Forsling, a defenseman, left the game Wednesday with an injury in the second period and Panthers coach Joel Quenneville did not have an update after the game.
