Current odds:

Dallas Stars: (+115)

Calgary Flames: (-135)

 

• The Dallas Stars have won only once away from home and will look to rebound from a humbling loss when they continue their five-game road trip with a visit to the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Calgary is returning home after a rocky road trip of its own, losing three of four games while getting outscored 16-5.

• Tyler Seguin leads the team in goals and points with seven and 14, respectively, but even though he has tallied in consecutive games, he’s minus-6 in that span. Benn, who led the league in scoring in 2014-15 and amassed a career-best 41 goals and 89 points last season, is mired in a nine-game goal-scoring drought.

• Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan were Nos. 1-2 on the team with 30 and 27 goals last season, but they have combined for six goals and 13 points to go with an unsightly minus-21. Tuesday’s practice was devoted to special teams — the Flames rank last on the power play (4-for-48) and 29th on the penalty kill (72.4 percent).

• Seguin has six goals and 13 points in 11 games versus Calgary.

• Flames G Brian Elliott has surrendered 13 goals while losing his last three starts.

• Stars F Jason Spezza (lower body), sidelined the past two games, could return Thursday.
