It's up to the Stars now.
The Stars could have clinched a playoff spot Sunday without even playing, but Arizona's 4-0 win over Minnesota denied Dallas that chance. The Stars can do the job themselves by earning a point at home against Philadelphia at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday or with an Arizona loss to Los Angeles later that night.
It will be the second opportunity the Stars have to qualify for the postseason. They could have clinched Saturday night in Vancouver but instead lost in a shootout, inching themselves closer to their first postseason berth in three seasons.
