If you've been following the Stars' move north, Plano voters had a say. Dallas News reported Tuesday morning that voters in a special election on five would decide whether to help fund an arena the Stars plan to lease. Results weren't in the reports we had this morning.

On the ice, the Stars practiced Monday in Frisco and then opened a two-game road trip Tuesday at Washington, with a 6 p.m. CT puck drop on Prime Video.

  • Stars record: 8-5-1, fourth in the Central Division
  • Road record: 3-1-1
  • Last homestand: 4-2-0, ending with a 3-1 win over Columbus
  • Capitals: 8-5-0 with 16 points, third in the Metropolitan Division

Coach Glen Gulutzan said the last three games at American Airlines Center showed signs of mental fatigue. "With the way we are playing at home, it's time to go on the road," he said. Capitals coach Spencer Carbery called Dallas "one of the stingiest teams defensively."

McKinney Boyd sweeps Plano East and reaches the third round for the first time since 2015

McKinney Boyd closed out Plano East in three sets Monday at Lovejoy in a area playoff match. That extends Boyd's postseason to the third round for the first time since 2015. A week earlier, Boyd had let a two-set lead slip away in a bi-district win over Hebron.

News Notes

Collapse

Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday the standard is not being met, a day after the Cowboys blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in a 33-30 overtime loss to Arizona. Arizona scored 30 second-half points, and Dallas is 3-5. Dallas Hoops Journal

Deadline

With the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline a week away, Jerry Jones said Tuesday that a shot at the NFC East is worth buying for, though "everything, everything depends upon the deal." The Giants lead the division at 4-2-1, and Dallas is second. Dallas Hoops Journal

Dak

Jerry Jones said Tuesday that quarterback Dak Prescott is "not hurt." Prescott went 19-of-29 for 195 yards and a touchdown Sunday, and Arizona sacked him four times. Dallas Hoops Journal

Porter

Schottenheimer said Monday that this week will show how close cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is to playing through an ankle injury. Porter is getting a series of tests. Dallas Hoops Journal

Coaching pay

Jerry Jones said Tuesday there is "zero correlation" between what an NFL team pays its coaches and how much it wins. Dallas is 3-5 and 10-14-1 under Schottenheimer, who is in his second season. Dallas Hoops Journal

Lost and found

Coco is home safe and sound!

“🤣 I found her on the next street over while I was out searching and handing out "lost pet" flyers. She had ended up in a trap someone had set in front of their house; since she loves to eat, she went inside and got stuck! I knocked on the door, and the person was kind enough to help me get my rabbit out! She was lost…”

The Wrap

A walk in the woods gets a lot more interesting when something huge might be around the bend. Along a nature trail at the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, you can meet a 40-foot T-Rex and 13 new life-size animatronic dinosaurs, and they're out today. Roar-some.
