Scouting the Stars

This is the sixth and final meeting of the season between the Kings and the Dallas Stars. So far, the Kings have a 2-1-2 record against the Stars this season, but are 0-1-2 in the last three meetings and are 1-0-1 at Dallas this season. The games between these two teams have been all over the place. The Stars had a 5-4 shootout win, a 3-2 overtime win and a 2-1 regulation win, while the Kings had a 1-0 regulation win and a 5-3 regulation win. Speaking of all over the place, the Stars, who are trying to get into the top eight in the Western Conference, have gone win-loss-win-loss-win-(shootout) loss in their last six games.
