The road has not been kind to the Dallas Stars so far this season, and this last road trip wasn’t either. After collecting just one available point of the six possible in the three-game swing through some Eastern conference opponents, a return to the friendly confines of the American Airlines Center will be welcome.
After all, Dallas is 6-2-0 on home ice.
They’ll need to collect some points at home if the Stars wish to keep a playoff spot within shouting distance. And while it may seem early in the season to be concerned about that, the Stars know that a point now means just as much as in April.
