RED WINGS at STARS

-- 7:30 p.m. today (FSSW/1310 AM The Ticket)

Storyline

Stars are off to 0-2-0 start and really could use a win. They will try to do that against a Detroit team that is 2-0-0. This should be the first game back at AAC for Trevor Daley, who was traded to Chicago in 2015, traded to Pittsburgh later that year, won two Cups with the Penguins and then signed as a free agent with Detroit this summer. Circumstances have prevented Daley from getting a game in Dallas, but now, the man who logged 756 games with the Stars over 11 seasons is back.

Key matchup

Tyler Seguin vs. Petr Mrazek: Seguin has put 19 shots on goal in two games and has scored just once. This will be the first game of the season for Mrazek in goal for the Wings.

Key number

782: Ken Hitchcock is one win shy of tying Al Arbour for third all-time on the NHL coaching wins list at 782. It would be nice for Hitchcock to get the victory at home.

Notable

-- Dallas lost 4-2 in St. Louis on Saturday and is off to an 0-2-0 start.

-- Detroit beat Ottawa 2-1 on Saturday and is 2-0-0.

-- Ben Bishop is expected to start in goal for Dallas. He is 11-4-0 in his career against Detroit with a 1.92 GAA and .928 save percentage. Bishop has stopped 19 of 19 shots this season.

-- Dan Hamhuis is nursing a groin injury and will sit out tonight. Rookie Julius Honka is expected to step in and play. Honka played 16 NHL games last season and tallied 5 points (1 goal, 4 assists). He has played 191 AHL games.

-- Remi Elie was called up by the Stars on Tuesday morning to replace Adam Cracknell, who was claimed on waivers by the New York Rangers Monday. Elie played 18 NHL games last season and had 7 points (1 goal, 6 assists).

-- Expected healthy scratches for Dallas are Gemel Smith and Greg Pateryn.

-- Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg has tallied 47 points (12 goals, 35 assists) in 43 career games against Dallas.

He said it

"In a way, it is the start we wanted based on play or analytics. It's just the record isn't what we wanted. We've just got to keep going. We're doing a lot of good things, and we've got to keep building on the good things, learn a little bit about the score and controlling the game clock. Man, there are a lot of things we are doing that I like."

-- Stars coach Ken Hitchcock on the team having a plus-17.5 shot differential through two games.

"He's going to add a real element to us," Hitchcock said. "He's an on the edge type of player he's very dynamic with the puck. He really moves the puck, he's really competitive and he's not afraid to make plays...What I like is he's got no fear. He's not afraid to make plays. He's not afraid to try stuff. He's a high-wire act and you're going to have to live with some of the stuff that goes on with the high-wire act, but I really like what he brings to our team."

"It's amazing that it's taken two years. It's nice to finally be back here...It's special I had some good years here and met a lot of great people. No matter where you go, where you end up and see those faces, it's special. It's pretty cool."

--Former Stars defenseman Trevor Daley on finally playing a game at AAC after being traded in 2015.

The Stars have a video tribute planned for Daley and when asked about it, the defender joked that it was about time after he failed to visit Dallas for two seasons. Thanks to the timing of a trade between the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins and an injury, Daley missed earlier chances for a tribute.

"It's amazing that it's taken two years," he said. "It's nice to finally be back here."
