On paper, the Stars’ current situation isn’t too encouraging. Dallas dropped Game 1 against the Colorado Avalanche by a 5-1 margin Saturday night at home, forfeiting their home-ice advantage for the round. It was their largest margin in a playoff loss since the 2023 Western Conference finals. They were almost shut out by a goalie who had never played in a playoff game. And, the loss marked their eighth straight loss and their eighth consecutive Game 1 loss, a streak that now spans four playoff runs.

Colorado falls to Vancouver, so the Stars have clinched at least the two-seed in the Central. If Winnipeg records a point or the Stars lose in any fashion Saturday, Dallas-Colorado is locked in for the first round.
