Stars Lineup

The Stars will make one change to their group of skaters for Tuesday, placing forward Curtis McKenzie–who played in three regular season games for Dallas this season and was recalled from AHL Texas this past weekend–on the fourth line, while moving Colton Sceviour up to the second line and subtracting Valeri Nichushkin from the lineup for the second time this series. Antii Niemi is expected to get the start in goal, though coach Lindy Ruff left the starting assignment open to interpretation earlier Tuesday.
