<h3>Stars look for fresh start after firing Armstrong</h3>

San Jose (9-7-2) at Dallas (7-7-3) 8:30 pm EST


DALLAS (Ticker) -- Following the firing of general manager DougArmstrong, the Dallas Stars hope to begin charting a differentcourse.


The Stars, who have gotten off to a slow start this season,replaced Armstrong on Tuesday with interim general managersBrett Hull and Les Jackson.


"I thought that the team needed a change in direction," Dallasowner Tom Hicks said in a statement. "I know that change can behealthy, and it was my determination that this move needed to bemade."


Dallas has lost its last two games to Western Conference foesPhoenix and Los Angeles, including a 6-5 overtime setback to theKings on Saturday. The Stars lost a four-goal lead in thefinal eight minutes of the game.


One of the lone bright spots for the Stars this season occurredwhen these teams met last Wednesday. In that matchup, a 3-1Dallas victory, center Mike Modano became the highest scoringAmerican player in NHL history, passing former Calgary Flamesdefenseman Phil Housley.


The Sharks come into the game after back-to-back wins againstthe Phoenix Coyotes. The first game of the back-to-backs sawanother American-born player, center Jeremy Roenick, score his500th NHL goal - third in scoring by American players.
