Jake Oettinger is a Champion at the All-Star Game! | A TOUGH February Schedule for the Dallas Stars and Best on Best Tournament next season!

The Dallas Stars return from All-Star break and face the Buffalo Sabers tomorrow night. Jake Oettinger returns as the lone representative for the Stars this season and also returns on the winning team, Team Matthews! Oettinger also stopped 8 out of 10 shots in the Skills Competition against Eilias Pettersson. Joey begins the episode taking a look into Otter's change in routine after having ankle surgery in July. He's had to practice less on the ice and do more off the ice like video work. Joey thinks this may has led to some of his inconsistencies in his play this season and once it becomes more comfortable his play and numbers will return to what we've seen in previous seasons. The 2nd segment is a preview of the February schedule for the Dallas Stars. The Stars play a total of 13 games against nine teams in the playoff picture and three back to backs. They take on top teams such as Carolina twice, Boston, New York and two division opponents in Colorado and Winnipeg. This will be a very important stretch for the Stars who want to win the Central Division and a trade deadline that looms in a month. The All-Star break came at a good time for the Stars, but they have to beat quality opponents to keep pace in with the Avalanche and Jets. The show wraps up discussing the NHL's plans to have a Four Nations in season tournament in 2025 consisting of Canada, United States, Sweden and Finland plus having NHL players compete in the World Cup and returning to the Olympics. This will be a great way to grow the game and to see the best players compete against each other on a more consistent level.
