The Dallas Stars haven’t had much to celebrate this season. From coronavirus to injuries to scoring issues to an ice-storm stoppage, their 2021 season has been marked by “one damn thing after another”
and “the same damn thing over and over again.”
So the emergence of a rookie superstar is something to trumpet to the skies. That’s right.Jake Oettinger is your hero now.
Jason Robertson’s show-stopping season to date has gotten a fair measure of well-earned national attention, but Oettinger’s emergence in net deserves equal time, writes
The Dallas Morning News’ Matthew DeFranks:
TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who skated at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday ahead of their matchup with the Vancouver Canucks.
After sitting out Thursday s game for maintenance, Morgan Rielly, Jake Muzzin, Nick Foligno and Jack Campbell are all back in tonight. It s a little bit of a process trying to convince guys around here to take time off if they don t absolutely need it, admitted Rielly, who was rocked by a big Josh Anderson hit on Wednesday in Montreal. But I think that in the long run it was the right thing to do just with the playoffs around the corner and a busy schedule and all that stuff. I m happy to be back and feeling good and ready to go tonight.

The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 to close out a perfect trip to Winnipeg. Joe Thornton, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, and Alex Kerfoot all scored for the team (one guy on each line), while Nikolaj Ehlers scored for the Jets. Jack Campbell stopped 26 of 27 for a nice rebound win.
It was an emotionally charged affair after Paul Maurice’s comments yesterday. The Jets definitely tried to come at the Leafs, but if anything it took the Jets off their game.
