The red-hot Dallas Stars, who've won eight of their last nine at American Airlines Center, welcome a Philadelphia Flyers squad desperate to snap their three-game road skid this Saturday afternoon.
While Dallas boasts one of the NHL's most potent offenses led by Matt Duchene's 69 points and a stingy defense allowing just 2.62 goals per game, the Flyers have struggled to find their rhythm, managing only four goals in their last three road games.
The Stars, who've dominated this matchup with an 8-2 record in their last 10 meetings against Philadelphia, look to build on their Central Division position as the home team faces off against the away team in what promises to be an intriguing afternoon clash.

Dallas Stars vs. Philadelphia Flyers preview
The Dallas Stars are looking to bounce back from their recent stumble against Tampa Bay as they welcome a struggling Philadelphia Flyers squad to the American Airlines Center on Saturday afternoon.
Dallas has been flat-out dominant at home lately, winning eight of their last nine on home ice, while Matt Duchene continues to light it up with 69 points to lead the Stars' high-powered offense.
The Flyers, despite Travis Konecny's impressive 65-point campaign, just can't seem to find their groove on the road, dropping eight of their last nine away games.
What's really killing Philly is their power play - they're converting at a measly 14% while Dallas boasts one of the league's best penalty-killing units.
Keep an eye on young gun Wyatt Johnston, who's been a revelation for the Stars with 62 points, making this Dallas offense even more dangerous than their 3.37 goals per game average suggests.
The Stars' defensive prowess, giving up just 2.62 goals per game, could spell trouble for a Flyers team that's managed just four goals in their last three road games.
With Dallas holding an 8-2 record against Philly in their last 10 meetings, and the possible absence of Flyers' defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen due to an upper-body injury, the Stars seem primed to continue their dominance in this matchup.
This afternoon showdown at the American Airlines Center has all the makings of a classic Stars defensive showcase, with Jake Oettinger likely to frustrate a Flyers offense that's desperate to find its spark.
