PLAYERS TO WATCH
Flames - Mark Giordano

Giordano has goals in three straight games and the Norris Trophy talk hasn't quieted one bit as a result. In fact, the skipper's play is earning some national recognition, too, as 'Gio' was the subject of a passionate soliloquy by Don Cherry during Coach's Corner on Hockey Night in Canada. "He does everything," Cherry said. "He scores goals. He hits. He fights. He blocks shots. He got out of the way there so Smith could see it. He does everything. He's never, ever mentioned. I don't understand it. He is a tough guy and they're lucky to have him." ... Giordano, 35, has that many points (6G, 29A) in 32 games and is third among defencemen in league scoring.

Stars - Gavin Bayreuther

Bayreuther scored the game-tying goal the last time these teams met as part of his first-ever multi-point game at the NHL level. The 24-year-old is one of many Dallas defencemen summoned from the farm in the absence of their Top 4, and at one point was playing upwards of 20 minutes per game. More recently, he's had his ice time cut back (playing a season-low 13:08 on Saturday), but remains an offensive threat, even in a more limited role
