The Dallas Stars are doing everything in their power to keep the Western Conference wild-card race interesting until the final day of the regular season.
Dallas suffered its second straight defeat to a Canadian team on Wednesday, as it fell to the Edmonton Oilers.
Dallas' loss and the Vegas Golden Knights' victory over the Washington Capitals shrunk the gap to two points for the final wild-card position.
The Stars sit in a precarious position with one week left in the regular season. They are also trying to fend off a challenge from the Vancouver Canucks, who are four points back of the last wild-card spot.
