• The Stars didn't play the Bruins in the 2020-21 season. During the 2019-20 campaign, the Stars posted a 0-2-0 record in two games against Boston.
• In 22 career games against the Bruins, goaltender Braden Holtby has a record of 18-4-0. In those games, he has earned the best save percentage (.939) and goals against average (1.98) than he has against any NHL opponent. Holtby, 32, appeared in his first career NHL game against Boston and recorded his first win on Nov. 5, 2010.

• Forward Jacob Peterson made his NHL debut on Thursday against the Rangers and recorded his first career goal on his first NHL shot on goal.
• The last Stars player to accomplish this feat was forward Denis Gurianov, who potted his first career goal in his first NHL game on Nov. 10, 2018 vs. Nashville.
• Six Stars players have also achieved this feat over the last decade including Peterson, Gurianov, Jason Dickinson (April 7, 2016), Mattias Janmark (Oct. 8, 2015), Brett Ritchie (Dec. 31, 2014) and Antoine Roussel (Feb. 1, 2013).
• Last season, the rookie recorded 33 points (14 goals, 19 assists) in 46 games with Farjestad BK of the SHL, leading the club with a +17 plus/minus rating.
• Peterson was originally selected by Dallas in the fifth round (132nd overall) of the 2017 NHL Draft.

Mr. 1,200

• Defenseman Ryan Suter played his 1,199th career NHL game in New York on Thursday and is expected to hit the 1,200-game milestone in Boston. In his 17th NHL season, Suter, 36, ranks fourth among all active players in games played.
• Suter will become the 114th player in NHL history to reach 1,200 games and the 33rd defenseman to achieve the milestone.
• Additionally, the native of Madison, Wisconsin will become the 14th U.S.-born player in league history to reach 1,200 games.
• After nine seasons in Minnesota, Suter signed a four-year contract with the Stars on July 28, 2021.
• He has skated in the second-most games among active defensemen in the NHL, while he also ranks fifth in points and second in assists (93 goals, 515 assists, 608 points).
• In 2020-21, Suter was one of only four Wild skaters to play all 56 games. He averaged 22:11 minutes of ice time per game, third highest among Minnesota defensemen. He ranked third on the team with a plus-9 rating and tied for fourth with six power-play points.
