NHL playoff standings: Stars-Avalanche face off in key clash

Related Topics: Dallas Stars

After an 11-game Super Saturday, it's a somewhat milder nine-game Sunday of action in the NHL. But the playoff implications of the contests is no less grand.

Perhaps the most intriguing matchup is the late one, as the Dallas Stars visit the Colorado Avalanche (10 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The Stars are three points ahead of the Avs, but Colorado has a 40-37 edge in regulation wins (the first tiebreaker). At stake is the No. 1 seed in the Central Division, likely the Western Conference and possibly the entire league as the Stanley Cup playoffs approach on April 20.
