The Dallas Stars spent Friday reviewing game footage after an 8–3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. Dallas hosts the Buffalo Sabres at American Airlines Center on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.

Coach Glen Gulutzan kept most of the team off the ice on Friday. He pointed to lapses in defensive-zone coverage and said the Stars also lost their structure when they pushed for a goal after Winnipeg went ahead 4–3.

Roope Hintz had a goal and an assist against the Jets, giving him seven points in his past four games. Buffalo is coming off a 3–2 overtime loss to Chicago. Tage Thompson scored his 225th goal for the Sabres in that game, passing Miroslav Satan for eighth on the club’s career list.
