Just two nights ago the Dallas Stars eked their way into the top three in the Central with a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. Tonight, they kicked off their California road trip, hoping to pick up an important six points in the next three games. Unfortunately, the Sharks were also interested in winning a game.
San Jose has been having mixed results over the last several games, but are sitting pretty in the second spot in the Pacific. They’re probably not going to catch the Golden Knights, but they’re only two points out of not making the playoffs at all, so every point definitely counts.
