Every game is a big one this time of year — but as the Colorado Avalanche travel to Dallas, their Thursday night game against the Stars feels monumental.
Opponents: Dallas Stars (34-27-5)
Where: American Airlines Center - Dallas, Texas
Puck drop: 6:30 pm MT
Watch: Altitude, FS-SW
Listen: Altitude 92.5
A win in regulation on Thursday will pull the Avalanche within one point of the Stars for the first Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, assuming Minnesota loses.
