Dallas Stars - Edmonton Oilers

Two teams from their divisions meet to fight for a spot in the playoffs. Vancouver is currently in 9th place in the west, while Montreal is in 10th place in the east. Vancouver has had trouble with scoring this season, and is currently the lowest scoring team in their division. They have opportunities, but always seem to be missing something. All of their forwards are healthy today and they must finally score goals, especially playing at home. Montreal has recovered from a difficult start to the season and is now pushing for a spot in the playoffs. The addition of P. Laine has been a big boost, although unfortunately he will not be able to play today due to illness. However, they still have players who can score up front. These two teams have already played each other this season, with the game ending in a 4-4 tie in Montreal.
