The Stars will be looking for revenge when they host the rival Red Wings on Saturday in the back end of a home-and-home series.

The 1994-95 and 1995-96 teams each registered 29 wins through 41 contests and the 1995-96 squad finished the campaign with an NHL-record 62 victories.
Henrik Zetterberg, who missed five games with back spasms, returned to the Red Wings' lineup Wednesday and collected two assists.
Chris Osgood continued his impressive play as he turned aside 23 shots to improve his record to 18-2-1 on the season. The veteran netminder is 26-10-3 lifetime against the Stars.
The loss was the second straight for Dallas, which had won eight of its previous nine games. Detroit has won five of its last six contests.
