Joe Pavelski, the 36-year-old center and leading scorer with 19 goals and 42 points, said the Stars just have to keep playing good hockey and know that they aren’t going to have to play all of those games at once.
“We’ve got to stay focused on what we’re doing,” Pavelski said.
The Stars have earned points in a season-best eight games in a row (6-0-2). At 50 points, they are two points behind fourth-place Nashville and one ahead of Chicago after the Blackhawks won 5-4 in overtime Wednesday night in the second of three consecutive games between those teams. Dallas has three games in hand over the Predators, and two over Chicago.
