DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Stars will now be logging plenty of ice time. Their back-to-back games at home against the Chicago Blackhawks had 11 days and a trip to Finland in between them. The Stars are now in a stretch with 21 games in 44 days through the week before Christmas. Forward Sam Steel says Dallas can focus on grinding it out and trying to get to its A-game. The Stars lost two games to reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida last weekend in Finland. They beat Chicago 3-1 on Thursday, and next play at 13-1 Winnipeg. Canada will be the third country they play in a three-game stretch over eight days.
