Closing it out against the Coyotes

• The Stars take on the Arizona Coyotes for the fourth and final time this season on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center. Dallas can clinch a postseason berth IF it gets at least one point vs. the Coyotes OR if the Blackhawks defeat the Golden Knights in any fashion.

• Their 14-game streak is also the league's second-longest active home winning streak for any team against an opponent (Philadelphia vs. Chicago, 17-0-0, March 31, 1998-March 3, 2022).
• Benn tallied three points (two goals, one assist) in the Stars' most recent home game against the Coyotes and has 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in his past nine home games, including six multi-point performances.
