We can expect every match day to bring fiery contests on every Match day. There are 12 NHL games scheduled on March 23, and fans will be looking forward to their team's play as the league stage is about to close. Let's look at the most-awaited games of the day.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Dallas Stars ( 9:00 p.m. ET)

Pittsburgh Penguins players celebrating a goal

The Pittsburgh Penguins are placed fifth in the Metropolitan Division standings with 80 points, just two points behind a playoff spot. They have scored 228 goals in 71 games of the season, with contributions from Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel.

Their defense has not done well and has conceded more than three goals per game this season. The goaltenders have shown incosistency, which is a big concern for them coming into the game.

Meanwhile, the Stars currently lead the Central Division with 90 points. They have done well offensively and have scored 243 goals this season. Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz have contributed 73 goals and have made 82 assists this season.

The Stars' defense has done a great job and has allowed 2.7 goals per game this season. The defense has looked solid, all thanks to the goaltender Jake Oettinger, who has given just 2.5 goals per game in 54 appearances at a save percentage of .917.

What to expect from the NHL game between the Penguins and the Stars game?

The Penguins are fighting for a playoff spot and cannot afford to lose this game to go behind in the standings. Plus, they come into the contest after breaking a four-game losing streak with a win and will be motivated to do well in this contest.

On the other hand, the Stars are currently in a division title-winning position and need maximum points from the upcoming game to sustain their lead in the standings. Having lost three in their last five games, the Stars will be under a lot of pressure in the game.

As both teams have not played their best games in the past two weeks, we expect it to be an engaging encounter. The action will begin at 9 p.m. ET today.
