The Dallas Stars continue their push to nail down a playoff spot when they take on the Winnipeg Jets at Bell MTS Place tonight (7 p.m. CT; FS-SW; KTCK). The game kicks off a crucial four-game road trip for the Stars, who are coming off a 1-3-1 homestand
The Stars come into tonight's game riding a four-game road winning streak and have victories in five of their last six games away from home. They'll face a tough test in the Jets, who lead the Central Division and have won five of their last six games overall. The Jets also are a team the Stars could face in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"It is in the back of the mind, but getting into the playoffs is more in the front of our minds right now," Stars coach Jim Montgomery said.
