It's finally that time of year - hockey season!

The Anaheim Ducks battle  it out on the ice against the Dallas Stars in Week 3 of the regular season on Friday, October 31st at 8:30 p.m. EST at the American Airlines Center in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Halloween evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Following the first few opening weeks of the 2014 regular season, the Ducks snag the No. 2 spot in Scott Burnside's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com with an impressive 8-3-0 winning record:

"The Ducks lost Sunday for the first time since opening night to one of the three mighty California-based teams. Still, it has been a banner start for the Ducks, who are getting it done on both sides of the puck. They have a nice test coming up with a tough four-game swing through the Central Division."

Meanwhile, the Stars currently hold the No. 17 spot (out of 30 total teams) with a 4-2-3 record:

"The Stars are tied for the lead in the West in goals per game and Tyler Seguin sits atop the scoring race. Defensively, however, they are giving up way too much: 3.50 goals allowed per game, tied for 27th in the league."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels FSW and FSSW, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WNIO, KLAA, and 1310 The Ticket.
