It’s the fifth game in seven nights for the Dallas Stars, and it’s a rough game to end that stretch on.
The Stars have historically struggled in the Pepsi Center, going 13-21-3 since the Avalanche moved over from McNichols.
The last ever Avs game played at McNichols was a 1999 playoffs loss to the Stars, who then eliminated them two nights later, and we all know how 1999 ended up for the Stars. Maybe it’s the altitude or maybe it’s been a bit of a curse because of that, but either way, the Stars have a hard time winning in Denver ever since.
