The Dallas Stars begin a new season with Glen Gulutzan as head coach, aiming to end their Western Conference Final heartbreak.

Dallas Stars Last season: 50-26-6, lost to Edmonton in Western Conference Final. COACH: Glen Gulutzan, hired July 1 (294-146-125 over four seasons). SEASON OPENER: Oct. 9 at Winnipeg. DEPARTURES: Coach Pete DeBoer,

The opening night roster consists of 21 active players, including 12 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders

Rantanen scored three points for the Stars, who fumbled a big third period lead and only barely clung onto victory in Winnipeg.

Gulutzan spent two seasons in Austin before the Stars promoted him to the NHL bench, where he spent two more working with Benn and one of the league’s lowest-paid rosters. Gulutzan’s Stars put up a record of 64-57-9, with the 2012-13 owners’ lockout limiting his second year behind the bench to just 48 games.
