Stars vs. Panthers

Expect a more veteran-heavy lineup for the Stars tonight than the one that dressed two nights ago in the preseason opener in St. Louis. Skaters that could dress tonight include captain Jamie Benn, forwards Joe Pavelski, Alexander Radulov and Tyler Seguin, and defensemen John Klingberg and Andrej Sekera. It should also mark the Stars debut for veteran blueliner Ryan Suter, who has been paired with Klingberg throughout training camp.
