The Stars made it to the Western Conference Final last season, losing to eventual Stanley Cup champion Vegas in six games. Jim Nill was named the NHL GM of the Year for his work, and he then made the team even better in the 2023 offseason, adding Matt Duchene, Sam Steel and Craig Smith. Dallas sits tied for fourth in the NHL at 30-13-6 after 49 games and will return to play after the All-Star Break with a three-game road trip out east that starts Tuesday in Buffalo.
