The Dallas Stars look to bounce back from a loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins as they head north to take on the Minnesota Wild.

While the Stars will have a national broadcast Sunday afternoon, fans will have to channel surf to see the puck drop for their favorite team’s game. Since TNT’s broadcast of Capitals-Islanders was impacted by Alex Ovechkin’s record-breaking goal and celebration, the Stars broadcast will start on a different channel.

Fans can tune in to HLN for the start of Stars-Wild. After Capitals-Islanders ends, the Stars game will move back to TNT.

Here’s everything you need to know for Stars-Wild.
