The Stars get blanked by the Winnipeg Jets 3-0. Host Gavin Spittle is joined with Robert Tiffin from D Magazine to recap the game.

Gavin looks at the positive, Jake Oettinger continues to play really well. He has allowed just 9 goals in his last 6 games. The guys discuss when the scoring dries up, who can the Stars turn to and will Dadonov return before the playoffs begin? Pete DeBoer was asked about Nils Lundkvist and why he is getting minimal minutes. The guys react to DeBoer’s response to the question. The guys wrap by reading tweets from listeners.

The Dallas Stars get a massive win over the Colorado Avalanche 7-4 in Colorado. Gavin rehashes his “do not panic” message on Saturday after the loss to the Blackhawks. The Stars go 3 for 3 on the power play and that was the difference in the game. Gavin recaps the win and lays out what has to happen for Dallas to clinch the one seed. He also says that Wyatt Johnston is making a case for being the best player on the Stars this season and why. And a huge stick tap to Ty Dellandrea for something he did for a young Stars fan in Chicago. 

The Stars win streak comes to an end in a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. Host Gavin Spittle talks about the urgency for the Stars not being there in this one and maybe they were looking ahead to Colorado. Colorado has played Dallas very hard this year, that game Sunday will be a big game and it’s possible Dallas has had that game on their minds. Gavin also makes note the Blackhawks have been playing good hockey lately so this isn’t a bad loss for the Stars. He takes a look at the upcoming week for the Stars and why it is going to be a challenge with tough teams on the schedule in the Avs, Sabres, Jets and Kraken.
