The Dallas Stars are the current leaders in both the Central Division and the Western Conference, and whatever you think about the advantages, the Stars could do worse than to hone their playoffs form by locking up those regular-season titles.
It won't be easy: The Stars are deadlocked with the St. Louis Blues at 45-22-9, although they hold a fairly formidable three-win ROW advantage. The Blues, however, are riding a streak right now, as Mark Stepneski points out:
Although both teams have 99 points, the Stars still sit in first place by way of the regulation/overtime wins tiebreaker, which the Stars lead 43-40.
