Mix'n It Up

If the Stars are going to 'right the ship,' there's no better game to do it than Thursday night's matchup in San Jose. They will be smelling blood in the Shark Tank, no doubt.

A couple of interesting tidbits from Dallas Morning News reports:

- Both Zubov and Boucher will be on this road trip, though neither are expected to play Thursday. Having one (or both) of these guys back against the Sharks would be a huge lift...but it ain't gonna happen.

- Brad Richards will be centering the newly revised second line, with Modano and Barnes on the wings. I've heard people calling for Modano to move to wing for awhile now, letting him focus on the shooting rather than the setup. If Richards can recreate the plate setting we saw in his first game with Dallas, Mo and Stu sound like the right pair to take advantage of his puck patience.
