And the loss moves Dallas one step closer to the edge. They now need to go 17-8-1 to hit 95 pts. Not impossible but very unlikely, especially with Seguin out.

Only LA and Min still in the mix that are on the outside looking in. Still, that's 2 too many!

Seguin being out for a while does hurt their chances but that is a rallying point for the team. Benn and Spezza are positive factors for the Stars and winning the past 4 of 5 games keeps them in the race. The Avs are still on the radar and have won their past 2 games. Yep, a torrid pace for them to make the playoffs but weird things can happen.
