The Dallas Stars are on the verge of franchise history as they host the struggling Utah Mammoth in a Central Division showdown. The Stars are looking to extend their points streak to 16 games, which would break the team record from 1998-99. Dallas has won four straight and is 22-7-4 at home this season. The Mammoth, meanwhile, are winless in their last four games and are trying to hold onto a wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
Why it matters
This game is crucial for both teams as they jockey for position in the playoff race. The Stars are trying to catch the Colorado Avalanche for the top seed in the Central Division, while the Mammoth are trying to maintain their hold on a wild-card spot. A win for the Stars would further cement their status as one of the top teams in the Western Conference, while a win for the Mammoth would help them solidify their playoff positioning.
The details
The Stars are led by Jason Robertson, who has 79 points in 66 games, and Wyatt Johnston, who shares the team lead with 36 goals. The Mammoth are led by captain Clayton Keller, who has 64 points in 67 games, and Dylan Guenther, who has 33 goals in 65 games. The Mammoth are coming off a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, in which Guenther scored two goals in the first seven minutes before the Penguins rallied with two power-play goals.
- The Stars are concluding a six-game, 11-day homestand on Monday night.
- A win or an overtime loss on Monday would stretch the Stars' points streak to 16 games, breaking the team record from 1998-99.
- This is the fourth and final meeting between the Mammoth and Stars this season, with Dallas having won two of the first three encounters.
