The Dallas Stars face a defining stretch in their 2026 schedule, with little room for mistakes.
They're heading into the second half of the 2025-26 season with a schedule that could decide everything.
For new head coach Glen Gulutzan, the pressure starts immediately.
There's no easy start here.
The Central Division is expected to be as tight and unforgiving as ever.
Every game will count, especially early in 2026 when momentum matters most.
The Dallas Stars' 2026 schedule includes key matchups against the Canadiens, Golden Knights, and Central Division rivals that could shape their playoff hopes
The action kicks off January 4th at home against the Montreal Canadiens.
It's the first home game of the year, and energy will be high.
With young stars like Lane Hutson rising for Montreal, this game could set the tone.
On January 29th, Dallas visits Vegas.
The rivalry with the Golden Knights has been heating up, and after recent playoff clashes, every shift will feel personal.
March 6th brings a big game against the Colorado Avalanche, expected to be close in the standings.
If tiebreakers matter in April, this matchup could be crucial.
Then on March 16th, the Stars host the Utah Mammoth, the Central's newest wild card.
Utah may be new, but after last season's losses to Dallas, they'll be ready.
Finally, on April 11th, Dallas closes its home schedule against the New York Rangers.
With playoff spots on the line, it will be a night to make a statement.
I can't wait to see how the Stars respond during this stretch.
