FRISCO -- For the Stars, the final two games of the regular season will be about a little bit of everything.
The Stars clinched their first playoff berth since 2015-16 with Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, but they have little else to play for this weekend in Chicago on Friday and at home against Minnesota on Saturday. It's mathematically possible, but unlikely, for Dallas to jump into third place in the Central Division or drop to the second wild card in the Western Conference.
The Stars trail St. Louis by four points and lead Colorado by three, meaning Dallas is almost assured of facing the Central Division champion in the first round, either Winnipeg, Nashville or St.
