PREGAME NOTES

Linus Ullmark will make his third consecutive start between the pipes, while Jeremy Swayman will back up after being recalled from Providence on Saturday.

Swayman’s call-up is due to Tuukka Rask being sidelined with a lower-body injury. Rask remains with the club in Texas but has not returned to skating as he undergoes off-ice treatment for a lower-body injury.

The Bruins announced just a few hours ahead of puck drop that Erik Haula is in COVID protocol. We'll see how the rest of the lineup sorts itself out. 

After getting bumped up to the first line midway through Friday’s win over Arizona, Oskar Steen will remain in that spot for Sunday’s game. Craig Smith will skate on the third line with Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle. 

The Stars are coming off a 5-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday night, a setback that snapped a stretch of four straight victories. Dallas is 22-17-2 with 46 points, putting them just two points back of Calgary for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.
