Saturday presents a golden opportunity for the Dallas Stars, as the franchise could move to within one win of booking their spot in the next round of the playoffs.

It was an even stronger showing by the Stars when you consider that they had earlier thrown away a 2-1 first period advantage, before battling back from 3-2 down in the final frame. Jason Robertson and Matt Duchene both ended the night with a goal and two assists.
