2. Dallas has won 10 consecutive home finales. They have not lost their final home game of the regular season since April 13, 1997 (5-2 L vs. CHI). Since then, the Stars have earned a 12-0-1 record. The club has a 22-15-3 record at home this season and have earned at least 20 home wins in each of their last nine seasons.

3. With 89 points in the standings, Dallas finds themselves one point shy of earning their 14th 90-point season since moving to Texas.

The Detroit Red Wings (17), the New Jersey Devils (15) and the Philadelphia Flyers (14).

4. Kari Lehtonen has made 1,603 saves this season. It is the third-most saves by any goaltender in franchise history. Lehtonen set the franchise save mark in 2010-11 with 1,868 saves. Additionally, Lehtonen is just 51 minutes shy of 20,000 for his career.

5. Coming into Saturday night’s game, the Stars are six victories shy of equaling their entire win total as the Minnesota North Stars. In 26 seasons in Minnesota, the North Stars earned 758 wins. The Dallas Stars have earned 752 victories in 18 seasons of play.
