The Dallas Stars head to Ball Arena on Wednesday, March 18, for one of the best matchups on the NHL board. Puck drop is set for 9:30 PM, and TNT has the broadcast. Dallas comes in at 42-15-10, sitting second in both the Central Division and the Western Conference, while Colorado is 44-13-9 and holding the top spot in both. So yes, this one feels a lot bigger than a routine regular-season game. Both teams are coming off ugly losses, which makes the handicap a little more interesting.

The Oklahoma City Thunder head to Barclays Center on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, for a 7:30 PM matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Oklahoma City enters this game at 54-15 and sitting comfortably atop the Western Conference, while Brooklyn is 17-51 and buried near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
