The Devils got Markstrom back from injury, which is huge, but Hughes is out with an injury. Meanwhile, Dallas has been stellar this season and should be able to get a win at home in a low-scoring game here.

Dallas' offense has also been solid, but being at home will be the difference as the Stars have been dominant at home.
