The Stars had lost four of five before the Red Wings, also losers of four of five, showed up and took a 4-2 defeat Thursday night despite out-shooting Dallas 33-21. Now once again, the Stars have the chance to get a little something going with a second win in a row- This one is harder than most, however.
The Minnesota Wild arrive 8-1-1 in their last 10 games and vying for the Western Conference's top spot just two points off Chicago's pace- So while the Stars fight to get within spitting distance of a Wild Card spot, Devan Dubnyk and crew fight for the whole ball of wax.
