The Dallas Stars will play five games in seven days this week, including two back-to-backs.
After that, they’ll take off two days before another back-to-back.
Let’s break down the schedule and see how they can try to come out of November still in a playoff spot while also dealing with injuries.
Today, they play the Islanders in a matinee game, then the Rangers tomorrow night. Luckily, this pair of games doesn’t involve the team traveling, so it’s a little easier on them. It’s also nice because today is an earlier game and they flew in yesterday, making it not as bad as it could be.
