On January 19th, the Dallas Stars were 13 points behind the Colorado Avalanche for first place in both the Central Division and the top seed in the National Hockey League. Two months later, the Stars have closed that gap to just two points, although Colorado has a game in-hand.

We will discuss that, along with Jake Oettinger’s current 13-game point streak (12-0-1), Arttu Hyry’s specific face off practice work and some NHL News & Notes, including the playoff races in the other divisions.
