Preview of NHL Game: Los Angeles Kings at Dallas Stars DALLAS (Interstat) — The Dallas Stars look to rebound from a rare regulation loss when they host the Los Angeles Kings at American Airlines Center on Monday night. The Stars (21-11-0) enter with one of the league’s best records but are coming off a 5-2 road defeat to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. That loss snapped a three-game winning streak. Dallas has been strong at home, however, and will rely on defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who has been a consistent offensive force from the blue line. Heiskanen has points in seven of his last nine games, tallying four goals and five assists in that span. The Kings (14-16-0), sitting below .500, aim to build momentum after a 4-2 victory in Utah last Monday, though they fell 3-2 in overtime at Seattle in their most recent outing Wednesday. Goaltender Anton Forsberg is expected to start for Los Angeles. He has been steady, allowing two or three goals in each of his last three appearances, all ending in ties through regulation. In the overtime loss to Seattle, he made 30 saves on 32 shots. Los Angeles will need that stability in net against a potent Dallas attack. The Kings have struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses in their past five games. This is the second meeting between the teams this season. On Oct. 23, the Kings edged the Stars 3-2 in overtime in Dallas. The Kings have won two of their last three games overall, while Dallas has won seven of its last ten. Following Monday’s contest, the Kings continue a road trip through Florida, facing the Panthers on Wednesday. The Stars embark on a brief California road trip, visiting San Jose on Thursday.
