The Stars’ three trade deadline acquisitions Mikael Granlund, Cody Ceci and Mikko Rantanen tallied four total points in Dallas’ win over Vancouver.

Mikko Rantanen, Thomas Harley and Jason Robertson also scored, Matt Duchene and Ceci each had two assists and Casey DeSmith made 22 saves for the Stars (42-20-2), who bounced back from a 5-4 loss at the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday to win for the fifth time in the past six games.

Mikael Granlund scored his first goal for the Stars and Dallas beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Sunday night.

The Vancouver Canucks suffered a setback in their playoff pursuit with a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Sunday night. Despite generating scoring chances and displaying a strong penalty kill, inconsistent play and the absence of captain Quinn Hughes affected their performance.

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.

Mikael Granlund broke a deadlock late in the second period and sparked the visiting Dallas Stars to a 4-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.

With their offence gasping for air and the lineup being tapered towards defending, there is virtually no margin for error for the Canucks when they play good teams.

The Stars have had a tumultuous last few days, and with the Canucks owning the advantage in both the rest and goalie department tonight, they top our NHL betting picks as home underdogs.
