GAME OF THE WEEK

Mighty Ducks at Dallas

Friday, Fox Sports Net 2, 5:30 p.m. PST

A possible playoff preview with the No. 8 Ducks facing the Western Conference-leading Stars at the American Airlines Center. The Ducks’ Mike Babcock would be a front-runner for coach of the year if not for the season Dallas is having under fellow first-year Coach Dave Tippett. The Ducks have played solid hockey since Jan. 9 and the Stars have dominated the Pacific Division all season.
