Storyline
The Stars could get Cody Eakin back in the lineup for the first time this season, while the Avalanche will be missing Matt Duchene (head) and Gabriel Landeskog (lower body). Both teams have been struggling with injuries, and both teams are on the wildcard bubble in the West. These could be key points down the stretch.
