The Dallas Stars face the Colorado Avalanche Friday night at American Airlines Center for the first time this season. Entering Friday's match, the Stars are 13-8-0 while the Avalanche are 13-10-0. The teams face each other two more times this season, both in Colorado, on Jan. 18 and March 16.

The Dallas Stars (13-8-0) face the Colorado Avalanche (13-10-0) at home on Friday in a nationally televised Central Division clash. Dallas is looking to bounce back after suffering back-to-back losses to Carolina and Chicago in which the Stars gave up a combined 12 goals against.

On the flip side, the Colorado Avalanche are winning games as they’re 8-4-0 in their last 12, but the pucks are still going in against them, which seems to be a common trend for this team. In those 12 games, the Avs are both allowing and scoring 3.17 goals per game.

This Black Friday, NHL fans are in for a double-header treat with marquee matchups featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins visiting the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Avalanche squaring off against the Dallas Stars.
