stars vs red wings on v-day

Stars-Red Wings preview - from Mike Heika, DMN

Key matchup: Henrik Zetterberg vs. Jeff Halpern
The two won't go head-to-head, because Zetterberg is a winger, but it will be interesting to see how the Stars' checking line handles the reigning NHL Player of the Week.

Key stat: 1-5-0
Detroit rookie goalie Joey MacDonald is 1-5-0 this season with a 3.46 goals-against average and an .872 save percentage. He is coming off a 6-1 loss to Philadelphia on Monday in which he allowed five third-period goals.

Stars: RW Eric Lindros (lower body injury) and RW Antti Miettinen (lower body injury) are doubtful. RW Brenden Morrow (wrist), LW Steve Ott (ankle) and RW Matthew Barnaby (concussion) are out.
