Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene has scored a lot of goals in his NHL career. He has scored 358 of them to be exact, thanks to his early third-period goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.

The Dallas Stars return home after going 4-1 on their five-game road trip, which included a matchup against Thursday’s opponent, the Montreal Canadiens. Dallas has won eight of its last nine games and will look to continue that hot streak against Montreal at the American Airlines Center, where the Stars have dominated their home ice this season.

Chris Tanev is the Toronto Maple Leafs’ most important defenceman this season, and he’s played better than advertised, halfway through his first season with his hometown club.

Colorado coach Jared Bednar has stressed the importance of winning games within the division, so Saturday's game against the visiting Dallas Stars has more meaning for both teams.
