The Dallas Stars look to complete the season sweep on the second half of a home-and-home series against the Minnesota Wild.

Wednesday marks the first meeting between these two teams in Dallas since Game 5 of the first round of last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, where the Stars went on to win the series and move on the second round.

The Stars are currently up 2-0 on this season's series, winning the first game 8-3 and the second 4-0. Minnesota will be playing with a fire under them to redeem themselves after being shutout by AHL call-up goalie Matt Murray. The Wild will still be without several key pieces of their team that were missing on Monday as well, so it will have to be a team effort to rebound against a hungry Stars team chasing important points.

Murray

After Murray's start on Monday, it's back to Scott Wedgewood for the 11th time in the past 12 games. Jake Oettinger is very close to returning to the starter's crease for Dallas, but Murray will serve as the backup after being sent down briefly on Tuesday, as a paper transaction.

The Dallas Stars are still looking for their first win on home ice in 2024. Despite being able to boast one of the league's best road records, the Stars still look for consistency at home, having sent the fans home frustrated with recent home performances outside of the New Year's Eve drubbing of the Blackhawks.

Fans should note that their energy is needed even earlier than usual, as puck drop is at 6:30 p.m. CST to accommodate being the first game of a doubleheader on TNT.
