Canucks vs Stars live stream: Watch online free Thursday 8:30 ET as two teams in the thick of the extremely tight Western Conference race to the playoffs meet in Dallas.
The 20-10-6 Vancouver Canucks travel to Dallas vs the 16-12-5 Stars for the second meeting this season. In the first game, the Stars left Vancouver with the 2-1 victory in mid-November.

In the newly aligned conferences, there are 16 teams in the Eastern Conference, meanwhile there's now 14 teams in the Western Conference. Of the 14 teams, only three are below .500. The Canucks vs Stars matchup is a meeting of two teams right in the middle of the pack along with over a half of dozen other teams.
Veteran Ray Whitney scored two goals to end a 13-game drought and help Dallas win for the second time in three contests.
"It's always nice to score when you've been dry for a while," Whitney, who had one goal in his first 27 games, told the team's official website. "Confidence is a big part of this game, and it's nice to get that out of the way. Hopefully that will be it for that for the rest of the year."
Vancouver has been on a scoring tare, averaging 3.6 goals over the past 11 games. The Canucks have struggled in the shootout, which is why they couldn't get two points in their last game, which was against the Minnesota Wild.
"We stink in the shootout. Yeah, we do," coach John Tortorella said. "We've got to try different people I guess because we stink at it."
