The Dallas Stars are in trouble. Like serious trouble.
That’s because the Stars’ postseason dreams seem to be slipping further and further away by the day. They have turned in a 1-3-1 record over the past five games. Meanwhile, the teams around them in the standings are slowly starting to move along with consistent play, which is slowly creating a gap between them and Dallas.
The Stars currently sit four points out of the final wild card spot in the Western Conference with only one game in hand. The problem is that the Stars are have three teams sitting between them and eighth place.
