Dallas Stars Face Anaheim Ducks In Highly Anticipated Matchup

DALLAS – The Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks are set to clash on November 6, 2025, at the American Airlines Center, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Both teams enter the game with equal records of 7-3-3 and 8-3-1 respectively, each holding 17 points in the Western Conference standings.

The Stars are looking to build on their recent 4-3 shootout win against the Edmonton Oilers, where Mikko Rantanen scored his 300th career goal. This milestone makes him the fourth Finnish skater in NHL history to reach this achievement. Rantanen also leads the Stars this season with 17 points, contributing significantly on the power play.

Meanwhile, the Ducks are riding a four-game winning streak, thanks in part to the impressive performances of Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier, who are both on seven-game point streaks. Carlsson has tallied 18 points this season, making him a key player for Anaheim.

Stars coach Glen Gulutzan commented on the challenge ahead, stating, “We need to just play hockey. There has to be trust in our style of play.” Despite the team’s injuries, including absence of key players like Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene, Gulutzan remains confident about his team’s ability to adapt.

In contrast, Ducks head coach Joel Quenneville emphasized the effectiveness of their power play and the need to improve their penalty kill. Anaheim currently holds a middle-of-the-pack ranking in penalty kill percentage but is aware of the Stars’ potent power-play unit.

This matchup highlights the skill levels of both teams, with the Ducks leading the NHL in scoring, averaging 3.92 goals per game. Stars’ forward Tyler Seguin, who has not scored against Anaheim in his career, is looking to break that streak and secure a victory for Dallas.

As tensions rise ahead of the game, both teams aim to make a statement in the competitive Western Conference. With the intensity of both squads, fans can expect a thrilling night of hockey.
