The Dallas Stars begin a four-game road trip on Thursday night by visiting the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.
Glen Gulutzan's team will aim to kickstart a new winning streak in Vancouver after seeing a five-game run end on Tuesday night against the New York Islanders. Dallas had captain Jamie Benn in the lineup for the first time this season, but the team struggled to match the red-hot Islanders and lost 3-2.
Benn missed the first 19 games of the season due to a collapsed lung. The Stars' offense could receive a further boost during their trip through Canada, as Matt Duchene is also nearing a return from an upper-body injury.
Meanwhile, the Canucks are set to have Conor Garland back from a one-game absence on Thursday. The team has had horrible injury luck this campaign and is still expected to be without seven players against Dallas.
Among the absentees is Vancouver's No. 1 goaltender Thatcher Demko, who hasn't played since Nov. 11 and was recently ruled out for 2-3 weeks with a lower-body injury. With him out of commission, the Canucks must rely on Kevin Lankinen between the sticks, and he has been struggling. Through 11 appearances this season, Lankinen has gone 4-5-2, allowing three or more goals eight times.

Our Dallas Stars vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
With close to a quarter of the regular season played, the Canucks have scored and allowed the third-most goals in the Western Conference. Adam Foote has had a tough time finding a balance between the offense and defense, and his side has been involved in 10 consecutive games with at least seven goals.
Even with Benn and Duchene missing, the Stars have had the fifth-best scoring record in the Western Conference. Recently, the team flexed its muscles with a 7-0 win in Montreal. With Jason Robertson in ridiculous form and looking to score in a fifth consecutive game, the visitors' frontline is bound to cause trouble for Vancouver.
Our prediction for Dallas Stars vs. Vancouver Canucks: Over 6.0 goals.
