When you look at the standings at nearly half way through the season, the Stars find themselves looking up at the Los Angeles Kings, who sit four points ahead of them for the second wild card spot with the same number of games played to date.
Quite a turnaround from last year when the team was comfortably in a playoff spot for the entirety of the season.
While the Stars are riding a three game losing streak dating back to New Year’s Eve, they still find themselves with a gap that is more than manageable for a playoff spot.
