Status report
The Stars did not conduct a morning skate following a 4-3 win at the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday. ... DeSmith is likely to start after Oettinger made 41 saves at Edmonton. ... Backlund will return after missing six games because of an upper-body injury; he will replace Sharangovich, a center. ... Andersson did not participate in the Flames morning skate, but "Everybody's available for us tonight," Calgary coach Ryan Huska said.
