After a long stretch of “four-point” games against Central Division and Western Conference foes, the Dallas Stars will take on an Eastern Conference opponent tonight to kick off 2018. The Stars will play host to the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight at 7:30.
The Stars and Blue Jackets enter tonight’s game with plenty of similarities between the two clubs. Though they are in different conferences altogether, they are playing a very similar style of hockey.
Dallas and Columbus enter tonight’s game with the exact same record of 22-15-13. While it is common to have the same record as another team in the first few games of the year, the halfway point is a bit different.
