March is the month with the most NHL action in it with a total of 210 games. Combine that with a playoff races and no stupid breaks like All-Star or Christmas and this is a hockey fan’s dream. Although the schedule makers haven’t pulled out all the stops and given us a day where all 30 NHL teams play. October 25 was your only time for that.
Starting on Saturday February 28 the Dallas Stars play five games in seven 7 nights. They are at home to play the Duck and Pens back-to-back and the on the road to face the Sharks, Kings and Ducks. Playing five games in a one week time doesn’t happen very often - only twelve times during the regular season. Looking at a team’s schedule may help your chances of finding a good injury replacement.
