DALLAS STARS (8-5-0) AT PITTSBURGH PENGUINS (6-8-2)

PPG PAINTS ARENA, PITTSBURGH, PA, USA

Networks: TVAS, Victory+, SN-PIT

Today, we honor the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for the freedoms we're able to enjoy now. Happy Veterans Day! And for our Canadians here, Happy Remembrance Day!

The boys have their hands full again. Another upper echelon foe looms. The Dallas Stars are in town, and they mean business. This is one of the deeper sides in the league. They don't really have any discernible weaknesses. Maybe their start isn't as sparkling as expected, but over the long haul the cream tends to rise to the top. You wouldn't wanna face these guys in the playoffs.

The Pens have reeled it in of late. They're .625 in November, and it's largely a result of putting their work boots on and playing a more comprehensive team game. That's what earned them a surprising win on Friday against the surging Caps. They're gonna need to bring the same mentality tonight, against this bonafide contender, if they wanna get out of this hole they've dug for themselves.
