Seven games separate the Dallas Stars from the end of the 2018-19 regular season. And at this point in the year, every game means more than the last one. That’s the situation that the Stars find themselves in at the moment.
After posting a 1-3-1 record on their most recent homestand and falling short of valuable points, the Stars are in a tight spot. They sit one point ahead of the Colorado Avalanche, three points ahead of the Arizona Coyotes and Minnesota Wild, and six points back of the St. Louis Blues in the Western Conference playoff race.
