Storyline

This is a tough one on the schedule. Dallas played Saturday at home and has to fly into Denver and play in altitude. The Stars did this on their last visit and lost 3-0 Nov. 23. They also lost in Denver 5-3 on Oct. 24, so the Pepsi Center has been a tough place to play. Dallas is in the middle of a five-game run against Central Division opponents and has moved to 3-6-0 against the division. Colorado is 4-4-1 against the Central.

Key match-up
