The Dallas Stars attempt to put together consecutive wins for the first time since mid-February when they visit the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. Dallas halted a season high-tying four-game slide (0-3-1) with Friday's 4-2 home triumph over New Jersey, putting itself in position for its first winning streak since a four-game run since Feb. 9-15.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to rebound from a surprising home loss 24 hours earlier when they visit the Metropolitan Division-rival New Jersey Devils on Sunday. The Penguins gave up the final three goals of the game in a 4-2 loss to struggling Calgary on Saturday after winning 10 of their previous 12 at Consol Energy Center.

The New York Islanders are holding up just fine during a rough road stretch and continue their quest for second place in the Metropolitan Division when they visit the New York Rangers on Sunday. The Islanders are 5-1-0 on their seven-game trek and still have six of their next eight away from home as they trail the Rangers for second in the division by five points.

The Detroit Red Wings have revenge on their minds when they look to further strengthen their hold on a postseason berth Sunday against the host Chicago Blackhawks. Detroit, which sits in the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and still is within reach of first place in the Atlantic Division, had its five-game point streak snapped at home by Chicago 5-2 on Wednesday in the opener of the two-game season series between the Original Six - and former Central Division - rivals.

Were the Stanley Cup playoffs to start today, there would not be a Canadian team involved – a fact not lost on either the Edmonton Oilers or Winnipeg Jets entering Sunday’s matchup at MTS Centre. The Oilers have played better of late, winning three in a row before losing 6-3 to Columbus on Friday while the Jets snapped a six-game home losing streak with Saturday’s 4-2 victory over Montreal, but both teams are wallowing at the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

The Minnesota Wild are realizing their potential and that could spell trouble for fellow wild-card contenders and a potential first-round Stanley Cup playoff opponent down the road as they host the St. Louis Blues on Sunday. The Wild won at Buffalo 3-2 in a shootout Saturday as they took a two-point lead over Colorado for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference with their fourth straight victory, improving them to 8-3 since interim coach John Torchetti took the reins.
