What was meant to be a high-stakes clash for the No. 1 seed, the Central Division crown, and even the Presidents’ Trophy lost some of its shine after the Stars’ stunning collapse on Tuesday.
Dallas will host the first-place Winnipeg Jets on Thursday at the AAC, with puck drop set for 7 p.m. on Victory+. The Stars are still reeling from a brutal 6-5 overtime loss to Vancouver, in which they surrendered three goals in the final minute of regulation before falling in OT.
There’s still a path to the top, but it’s a narrow one. The Stars likely need to win out – and hope the Jets stumble elsewhere.
