Rising Penguins visit struggling Stars

DALLAS -- Two teams on divergent ends of the NHL playoff spectrum, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Dallas Stars, meet Tuesday night at American Airlines Center.

Pittsburgh (38-14-8) sits second in the Metropolitan Division and in great playoff position, but Penguins coach Mike Sullivan would like to see the reigning Stanley Cup champions raise their level of play even further.

"We all have to elevate our games," Sullivan said after practice on Monday. "I think our coaches have to continue to strive to be better, to prepare this team the right way. I think everybody has to take ownership for what they bring to the table to help this team be successful.
