After an ugly stretch that saw the Dallas Stars lose 11 of 14 games from Dec. 23 to Jan. 22, they are offically back on track and are in the midst of a five-game winning streak.
They’ll look to extend that streak to six games Wednesday night when they welcome the team they beat to start their winning streak, the St. Louis Blues, to the American Airlines Center.
The game includes an odd scheduling quirk, as Wednesday’s matchup will be Dallas’ third game against St. Louis in its last six games. The Stars scored a game-winning goal in the final moments of both of those recent games against the Blues.
Here is everything to know about the Stars’ next game.
