This Dallas Stars regular season game has been listed as a "must watch" by an analyst

The upcoming NHL season brings 82 games for the Dallas Stars, but one home game is already being called a can't-miss event, as Alex Ovechkin's farewell tour comes to town and gives fans a final chance to witness a legend.

Ovechkin, who broke Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal record last season, will make his last appearance in Dallas, marking a historic night for hockey fans at the American Airlines Center.

According to The Hockey News, this game is not just about nostalgia but a rare opportunity to see a generational star close out his career.

Why Ovechkin's last game in Dallas will be a marquee event for fans

The Washington Capitals, once an eighth seed just two years ago, have transformed under head coach Spencer Carberry, who won the Jack Adams Award last season after leading them to a Metropolitan Division title and a second-round playoff berth.

They have truly become a force in the East.

With a deeper roster supporting Ovechkin, the Capitals bring more than just his farewell spotlight.

Still, the headline is Ovechkin himself, a player whose career has redefined goal-scoring greatness.

"His talent is worth seeing live if given a chance, and fans should leap at the opportunity to do so early on in the season," wrote one analyst for The Hockey News, emphasizing the rarity of this final Dallas stop.

The game is set for October 28, a Tuesday night that also aligns with the Stars' annual Halloween Night, adding another reason for fans to circle the date.

I believe this is one of those nights that Dallas fans will regret missing if they don't act fast. Buy the tickets!
