Current odds:
Dallas Stars: (+180)
Florida Panthers: (-200)
• Anton Lundell’s between-the-legs, back-to-the-net assist on Tuesday night was yet more evidence that the 20-year-old Florida Panthers rookie belongs in the NHL. Lundell, a native of Finland who was chosen 12th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft, figures to be on the ice again on Friday night when his Panthers play host to the Dallas Stars at Sunrise, Fla. He entered Thursday first among NHL rookies in takeaways (36), tied for fifth in assists (13) and tied for sixth in points (20). Lundell, primarily a center, has played 32 of Florida’s 36 games this season.
• Lundell is part of a deep roster for the Panthers, who have the best home record in the NHL (19-3-0). The Panthers are on a seven-game points streak (6-0-1). The only blemish during that span was a wild 6-5 shootout loss to the host Stars on Jan. 6.
• Jonathan Huberdeau, who leads the Panthers in assists (34) and points (47), scored with 29 seconds remaining to send the game into extra time. But Dallas’ Joe Pavelski and Jason Robertson beat goalie Sergei Bobrovsky in the shootout, and Huberdeau and Lundell failed to get the puck past Braden Holtby, giving the Stars the victory.
• Dallas coach Rick Bowness announced Wednesday that Holtby and forwards Denis Giranov and Alexander Radulov have entered COVID protocols. That robs the Stars of their top goalie and two of their top 10 scorers in Gurianov (14 points) and Radulov (12).
• Still, the Stars have won five of their past six games, including Wednesday’s 5-2 victory over the visiting Seattle Kraken. Pavelski had his fingerprints on all five goals — two tallies and three assists — and Robertson extended his point streak to eight games. Robertson has five goals and seven assists during that streak.
• Goalie Jake Oettinger (9-2-0) earned the win for the Stars, making 23 saves.
• For Pavelski, it was his first career five-point game. In his past 16 games, he has scored at least two goals in four contests. He is also the first NHL player in 10 years to record five points or more in a game at age 37 or older.
• Florida has its own standouts, including captain Aleksander Barkov, who has three short-handed goals in his past six games. Florida’s Aaron Ekblad this week became the third NHL defenseman to reach 10 goals for the 2021-2022 season. He entered play Thursday with 32 points, tied for fifth among NHL defensemen.
