The Stars failed a big test Tuesday when they were crushed by Nashville, 5-2, on home ice. That game was big because it came on the heels of a five-game winning streak, including three games within the Central Division. The Predators moved six points ahead in the standings. Now, Dallas has a chance to make a statement that it can bounce back from adversity and can play with the best teams in the division. St. Louis is 18-8-2, including 4-1-1 against Central Division opponents. Dallas is 4-7-0 within the division.
