Six games separate the Dallas Stars from the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs. And if they are going to earn the opportunity to play past game 82, these next six games could help in getting them there.
After starting off an important four-game road trip on Monday night with a dominant 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets, the Stars will be back in action on Wednesday.
The second stop of the road trip takes them to Calgary to face off with a strong and surging Flames team. The Flames have won six of their past eight contests and currently sit atop both the Pacific division and Western Conference with a record of 47-22-7 (101 points) They were the first team in the West to clinch a playoff spot and look to be a shoo-in to win both the Pacific and Western Conference regular season titles.
