Stars vs. Canucks Live Stream WATCH Online: Top Team NHL 2015, Free Game Updates

Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Dallas Stars battle it out on the ice against the Vancouver Canucks in Week 8 of the regular season on Thursday, December 3 at 10:00 p.m. EST from Rogers Arena in British Columbia. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Thursday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Dallas still maintains the impressive top spot in Pierre LeBrun's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Vancouver falls a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Stars (1): "The Stars went 10-3-0 in November and capped the month in sensational style by erasing a 3-0 third-period deficit while beating the Wild 4-3 in OT Saturday night. Is there a team that's more fun to watch than these high-flying Stars?"

Record: 19-5-1 (1st in Central Division).

Canucks (21): "The Canucks have really missed Brandon Sutter since he was injured on Nov. 10. They just don't have the depth to replace him in that role."

Record: 9-9-8 (4th in Pacific Division).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels RSN and FSSW.
