What recent achievements have the Dallas Stars accomplished before the Olympic break?
With a record of 34 wins, 14 losses, and nine overtime losses for 77 points, they sit third in the Western Conference, chasing Colorado and Minnesota.

They have 25 games left over the next 50 days, including 15 at home, starting February 25th against Seattle. Tough matchups await, like three against Colorado and two versus Minnesota. Players are feeling the momentum, but mixed on the timing. Center, Matt Duchesne, who missed 24 early gains with a concussion, said the team is rolling and the hunger will build during the break.
Captain Jamie Benn echoed that, noting they are not perfect, but love finding ways to win gritty one-goal games. Both veterans have been key lately, with Duchesne on a six-game point streak.

Two scores in the finale, including the winner, with 22.8 seconds left. At 36, he is showing plenty of swagger alongside Duchesne.
