The Dallas Stars are a freight train right now, barreling down the tracks of a congested schedule. The Stars have won four in a row, they have an 11-game point streak (9-0-2) and have points in 23 of their last 25 games (18-2-5. 41 pts., 0.820). Their power play has been nearly unstoppable, their big guns have been firing at all cylinders and their goaltending tandem has been elite. Frankly, there are not many issues at the moment, so we’re going to have to really drill down to uncover a very minor concern regarding Matt Duchene’s continued recovery and where he best fits in the lineup, especially in the absence of Tyler Seguin, who is out with a long-term knee injury. Then we will switch gears to talk of the 2026 Winter Olympic hockey tournament. We will talk about the issue about the size of the rink in Italy, which was first reported on our show by Hockey Canada general manager Doug Armstrong. We will discuss Lian Bichsel’s on-going drama with the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation.
