Jamie Benn and Miro Heiskanen headline a veteran-heavy lineup as Dallas hunts a fifth straight exhibition win against Minnesota, blending established stars with high-ceiling defensive prospects.
Dallas returns to the ice Wednesday for game three of its four-game preseason slate, hosting the Minnesota Wild in the opener of a home-and-home set and playing at home for a second straight game.
The Stars will also be chasing their fifth consecutive preseason win, having opened this year's exhibition schedule 2-0 while closing out last preseason with back-to-back victories.
Wednesday's lineup blends NHL regulars with AHL depth and prospects. Captain Jamie Benn headlines a group of players making their preseason debuts, joined by Sam Steel, Radek Faksa, Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, Lian Bichsel, Tyler Myers and Jake Oettinger. Top prospect Emil Hemming, meanwhile, will suit up for his third straight preseason game.
