NHL hockey match between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche, designated as a Hockey Fights Cancer Night with special awareness activities.
The Dallas Stars take on the Colorado Avalanche at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday, October 13, at 7:30 PM. It's a Western Conference division rivalry that carries over from last season, when two of the league's best teams faced off: the Avalanche finished with the best record in the West, and the Stars followed in second. This is a matchup that comes with some history behind it.
On the ice, the names you'll be watching are the ones you'd expect. Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are lining up for the Avalanche, and Jamie Benn and Jason Robertson are leading the Stars. It's a game that puts some of the league's biggest stars in the same building, and given how these two teams stacked up last year, there's a natural weight to the matchup.
Beyond the game itself, the night is a Hockey Fights Cancer event. It's a designated evening at the arena when the teams and the crowd turn their attention to the fight against cancer, and the night also doubles as a Teacher Appreciation promotion. If you're heading in, you can pick up "I Fight For" cards at the Fan Center to write a name on—someone you're fighting for—and leave it as a reminder of why the night matters. It's the kind of thing that gives the game a bit more to hold onto than just the score.
