3 years agoDallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov won't be in the lineup Saturday against Calgary. He will sit out the game as a healthy scratch, giving up his spot in the lineup to Marian Studenic. Radulov has had a poor campaign and he was very ineffective in the first two games against the Flames, managing just one shot on goal. He's gone pointless in 15 of his last 16 appearances, so it's no surprise that Stars head coach Rick Bowness tries something different in Game 3. Studenic hasn't done a lot in 2021-22 either, going for just four points in 33 regular-season games, but he'll bring something different and should have a lot more hunger to perform, as this will be his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut.

3 years agoDallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday against Minnesota. Both Radulov and Joel Kiviranta have been dealing with a non-COVID illness and the Russian veteran is healthy enough to play again. He'll be on the fourth line with Jacob Peterson and Marian Studenic. Radulov has looked like a shadow of his former self throughout the campaign and boasts just four goals and 21 points for the year in 65 games. The Stars have scored 15 goals across three games against Minnesota, but even that matchup hasn't suited Radulov as he has gone pointless with a minus-one rating.

3 years agoDallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov appears set for extended minutes in Tuesday's clash with Toronto after he was reunited with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn at Monday's practice. The Russian veteran has spent most of the season on the fourth line, averaging only 14:52 of ice time and notching 18 points in 51 outings. Seguin and Benn haven't exactly set the world alight either, but the trio has enjoyed some very productive times together and maybe they can find the spark again against Toronto's awful defense. The Maple Leafs have allowed 4.58 goals per game across their past 12 outings.

3 years agoDallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov ended a 10-game goal drought on Wednesday, netting the game-winner on the power play in a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles. This was a great team effort from the Stars, who had only two forwards without a point for the night. Radulov carries a big reputation and that's probably the reason why he's still rostered by a lot of fantasy teams, but managers should really consider letting him go because the Russian is having a horrible season. He's been stuck on the fourth line for a while now, and his efforts have resulted in just three goals and 18 points this season. Radulov is also carrying a minus-13 rating, which is the worst among all Dallas forwards.
