The Dallas Stars are facing a challenging schedule after playing five road games, followed by one home game, and now traveling again for a day game at high altitude. This will be the Stars' seventh game in 11 days. Additionally, the Stars eliminated Colorado from the playoffs last year and won their only meeting 5-3 despite being outshot 32-24 back in November. Mason Marchment, Tyler Seguin, and Roope Hintz scored four of the five goals, including an empty-net goal. However, Marchment and Seguin will not play, and Hintz is questionable. The Avalanche are expected to experience positive regression after going 0-for-16 on the power play in their last six games. Colorado should be extra motivated after blowing a 3-0 lead vs. Edmonton on Thursday.
