Dallas Stars (34-14-18, 17-6-5 first in the central division) travel to the New York Rangers (36-16-3, 19-7-0 first in the metropolitan division) for a Tuesday matchup. The hosts are on a seven-game winning streak. They have 75 points, which is the fourth-most in the entire NHL. But their most recent win came in an overtime nail-biter against the New York Islanders. That game ended 6-5, but their previous game was won by a score of 7-4. While they let in a goal every now and then, keeping up and outscoring is usually not an issue.
Meanwhile, the away side is cold having lost two games straight. Although, both losses came in either a shoot-out or overtime. Before that, they won seven of their previous eight games. Even though the home team is favored tonight, the visitors are ahead in the standings by a point.
Will the two sides swap places between fourth and fifth in the overall league standings after tonight’s game?
