Tonight Detroit took on the Dallas Stars at Little Caesars Arena. Detroit was fresh off of a late comeback win over Buffalo on Monday night thanks to Larkin’s OT winner. Dallas is also following up a win over the Sabres, beating Buffalo 5-4 last night. Dallas had lost three games previous to that dating back to last Friday.
The Stars are in a similar spot as the Red Wings, chasing playoff teams with a big gap to make up. Dallas is pushing to try and gain ground on the teams in front of them to get to a playoff spot before they fall too far behind as the season reaches its midway point.
