Dallas Stars right wing Nathan Bastian (11) celebrates his goal with teammates defenseman...Franchise history on the line

A little bit of franchise history is on the line when the Stars take the ice on Monday.

Dallas is currently riding an eight-game winning streak, which is tied for the longest winning streak in franchise history dating back to its first season as the Minnesota North Stars in 1967. This is the second time the franchise has won eight games in a row, with the other occurrence happening in the 2023-24 season. The 2024-25 Stars did win seven games in a row on two separate occasions.

See the full list of the longest streaks in franchise history below.

If the Stars want to move their winning streak to a franchise-record nine games, this is the ideal opponent to have up next.

The Canucks are the worst team in hockey by a fairly comfortable margin. Their 43 points and minus-62 goal differential are both the worst in the NHL by a fairly healthy margin. There aren’t many signs of life coming from Vancouver, either. The Canucks are in the midst of an appalling stretch in which they’ve lost 19 of their last 21 games.
