This is a 10* on DALLAS

Despite a five-game losing streak, Dallas is still in third place in the Central Division. But that lead is shrinking (down to 4 points) and their recent play obviously leaves a lot to be desired. They were just shut out twice in a row by Nashville, a division foe. Scoring shouldn't be that difficult tonight however as the Stars get to face a Rangers team that has allowed 11 goals in its last two games. The Rangers also seem to have hit a "wall" with losses in four of their past five games. They've allowed 5 or more goals in all of those losses. The Stars have averaged more than 35 shots per game during this losing streak. So they are very likely to start converting more of those opportunities into goals. At the same time, they give up only 2.2 goals per game here at home. That's the best average in the league in home games. Play on DALLAS
