Storyline

On paper, this is the second highest scoring team in the league (New York at 3.42 goals per game) against the team that allows the most goals (Dallas at 3.16 per game). But if you look closer, the Rangers have struggled to score in recent games, being held to two or fewer in four of the past five games, while the Starsare allowing just 2.16 goals per game in the past six with a .921 save percentage. So, will this game be about long-term or short-term stats?
