The Dallas Stars will wrap up a four-game homestand on Friday night when they welcome the Washington Capitals to the American Airlines Center. Both teams currently sit in one of the top three spots in their respective divisions, have played consistent hockey as of late, and are trying to create separation in the playoff race.
Those storylines alone make it an entertaining game to indulge in on a Friday night. Not to mention that the first meeting between the two teams offered overtime and an eventual game winner from Jason Dickinson in a 4-3 final.
