The Dallas Stars faced a disappointing defeat at home, extending their losing streak to five games as they fell 5-3 to the Utah Hockey Club. This loss officially eliminated the Stars from contention for the Central Division title after the Winnipeg Jets secured their spot by earning a crucial point in overtime against Chicago.

Despite the setback, there was a moment of celebration for Stars fans as Jamie Benn scored his 400th career goal, only to have the joy cut short by a goaltender interference call after a review. Coach Pete DeBoer expressed optimism about the team's performance, noting that several games were played well enough to win, and he believes the Stars can rebound in time for their playoff opener against the Colorado Avalanche next weekend.
