The Dallas Stars pulled off exactly the game they needed last night. Defeating the Nashville Predators in regulation wasn’t just a great way to kick off the month of April – it places them five points away from fourth place in the Central Division, with four games in hand.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak (though two of them came in overtime) for the Stars and improved their record to 12-12-10 with 22 games remaining.
