DALLAS, Texas — Dallas Stars hope to overcome the Colorado Avalanche Thursday night to battle for a playoff spot. Stars host the Avalanche at the AAC at 7:30 p.m. and are wanting to add another win to make it four in a row. Stars are also in the first wild-card spot for the Western Conference with 73 points.
Colorado are three-points behind Dallas which is just outside the playoff spot. Cogliano and Radulov will be back in the lineup after having to sit out from some games while Radek Faksa is out for the Stars due to a neck injury.
This will be the third of four meetings between the two teams where the Stars are 0-2-0 in the season series.
