STARS AIM TO CONTINUE RECORD-SETTING START
The Stars, who at 14-4-0 (28 points) are off to their best 18-game start – in terms of wins and points – in the franchise’s 48-year history, look to continue their record-setting run when they visit the Sabres at First Niagara Center. Dallas, which boasts two of the top three point-producers in the NHL (Tyler Seguin: 9-17—26 and Jamie Benn: 12-13—25) as well as the top defensive scorer (John Klingberg: 4-16—20), shares first in the League with seven road wins and 14 road points (7-2-0). Buffalo, however, has won six of the last seven meetings between these clubs at First Niagara Center dating to Feb. 28, 2003 (DAL: 1-5-1).
