Stars to retire Zubov's number this season

The Dallas Stars will retire Sergei Zubov's No. 56 this season, the club announced Thursday.

The ceremony will occur during January 28's game versus the Washington Capitals. Zubov's number will be the sixth the Stars have retired - he joins Neal Broten (7), Bill Goldsworthy (8), Mike Modano (9), Bill Masterton (19), and Jere Lehtinen (26).

Zubov spent 12 of his 16 NHL seasons with Dallas, racking up 549 points in 839 contests and winning a Stanley Cup in 1999.

The 51-year-old was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2019.
