The Dallas Stars’ latest road trip got off to a rocky start. Despite a late comeback attempt, Dallas fell 5-4 against the Edmonton Oilers. The Stars will have a quick opportunity to bounce back.

The Dallas Stars made an early trade ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline, acquiring Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks. This proactive move addressed their injury-depleted lineup and strengthened their roster.

Mikko Rantanen has found a familiar home in Dallas, thanks to the Stars’ strong Finnish presence. The veteran forward, acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Carolina Hurricanes, is joining a team that already boasts several of his countrymen—a connection Stars forward Matt Duchene has dubbed the ‘Finnish Mafia.’

In the meantime, the Stars (39-19-2) will continue to go with what they have and have added. They are 6-2-1 since acquiring Granlund and Ceci and find themselves in second place in both the Central Division and Western Conference, eight points back of the Winnipeg Jets.
