It was obvious the Canucks — who traded Miller shortly before the puck dropped — were playing short-handed in their 5-3 loss to Dallas.

Kansas City has a chance to earn a historic three-peat at Super Bowl 59, but Reid says that's not what the team is focusing on. Given perceptions of officiating bias toward the Chiefs and the league's embrace of gambling revenue, the pressure is mounting on Goodell to answers for ongoing officiating issues.

The Dallas Stars take on the Vancouver Canucks with a three win streak on the line. Dallas has a 32-17-1 record overall and an 18-7-1 record in home games. The Stars have gone 12-4-0 in games they score at least one power-play goal.

Overall, the heatmap from Wednesday's game is positive. While the Canucks did give up chances, they kept the "guts of the ice" relatively clean, and forced the Predators to shoot from distance. While Thatcher Demko did have to come up with a couple of big saves, Vancouver played a strong defensive game from start to finish.

Miller heads back to New York, where he spent the first six seasons of his career, in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a 2025 top-13 protected first-round pick. Vancouver prospects Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington also went to the Rangers in the deal. Vancouver’s return was reported by the New York Post.
