Dallas Stars forward Wyatt Johnston is aiming to overcome a slow start to the season as Dallas prepares to face the Buffalo Sabres. Through the first three games of the season, Johnston has recorded only one assist and has yet to score a goal. The matchup also serves as a homecoming of sorts for the Toronto native, who will be playing near his hometown.
