Friday 8th April 00:30 - 03:30 GMT
Considering that Paul Stastny and the Avalanche were the worst team in the Western Conference in 2008-09, it was definitely a surprise when the squad of coach Joe Sacco clinched a playoff berth last season. Therefore, the Colorado Avalanche are hoping to continue their upswing when they meet Brad Richards and the Dallas Stars at Pepsi Center on Friday at 0:30 a.m. GMT.

Much like the Avalanche, the Stars also spent last year's NHL campaign rebuilding from scratch and ultimately ended up posting a 37-31-14 record which resulted in a twelfth place finish in the West. Albeit Dallas missed the post-season once again, the team around All-Star Brad Richards appears to be heading into the right direction. Likewise, the franchise from Texas is very excited to have a eleventh overall pick Jack Campbell on board who might be able to contribute right away. Nonetheless, Paul Stastny and company might still have a slight edge over the Stars and can be considered favorites to secure a preseason win on Friday night.
