Miro Heiskanen was out of the Dallas lineup on Monday afternoon as he was away from the team for the birth of his child. With Jani Hakanpää and Nils Lundkvist already out, the Stars dressed Joel Hanley and called up some AHL depth to fill out the blue line. It is always interesting to see [...]
We looked at the top-12 rookies after the first quarter here. I thought it was time to check in and update the list, to see if anyone had burst onto the scene or started to slip. Some notable rookies who aren’t on this list and could make an impact for the rest of the season [...]

Clarke now has points in back-to-back games as well as seven shots over that span. Clarke and Jordan Spence have basically been alternating out of the lineup, but it seems like Clarke has earned [...]
