Default Date Format

Hello, I have a formula of sort that pulls info from another sheet. One of
the cells from the other sheet ('Game Stats'!C7) contains text...the other
('Game Stats'!D7) contains a date (mm/dd/yyyy).

In the formula below when the date ('Game Stats'!D7) comes over in the the
"main" sheet it is is a number format (40771).

How can I get the date to format into its normal date format (mm/dd/yyyy)?

="Game #"&'Game Stats'!C7&" - "&'Game Stats'!D7

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
