The Dallas Stars were at home in the American Airlines Center tonight, looking for their sixth win in a row, seventh in a row at home. They faced off against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who were fresh off a 6-0 shutout loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.
The Blue Jackets and the Stars have had a pretty even season so far. The Blue Jackets started tonight at 12-8-0 and the Stars have the same number of points but a different split at 11-7-2. The difference is that the Blue Jackets didn’t have the terrible start that Dallas did, and the Stars have been on an upward swing recently.
