It’s another big night for the Dallas Stars.
On Saturday night, the Stars will wrap up a five-game homestand against the Pittsburgh Penguins. And after a 1-2-1 start to the stand, the need for points is obvious.
The playoff race is in full swing. And as the Western Conference playoff swing tightens up and teams continue to dig into the final sprint, the Stars are in a potentially dangerous spot. They still own sole control of the first wild card spot, but have seen their lead on the playoff wall shrink from seven points to four in the past few days.
