FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Stars have not finished as the top seed in the Western Conference since 2003 and have not won a division title since 2006, but they could get both with a win against the Nashville Predators on Saturday at American Airlines Center (8 p.m ET; FS-TN, FS-SW+, NHL.TV).
Dallas (49-23-9) is tied with the St. Louis Blues for first place in the West and Central Division with 107 points, but the Stars hold the advantage in the first tiebreaker (regulation/overtime wins, 47-44).
Meaningful finale 'much better' for Stars
