The 2020β21 Dallas Stars season was the 54th season for National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967, and the 28th season since the franchise relocated from Minnesota prior to the start of the 1993β94 NHL season. On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the CanadaβUnited States border. As a result of this realignment, the Stars remained in the Central Division this season and played games against only the other teams in their realigned division during the regular season.
The Stars experienced a COVID-19 outbreak during training camp, with 17 team members testing positive. The team's first four games were postponed. [1] The Stars finally began the season on a high note eight days late on January 22, 2021, with a 7β0 rout of the Nashville Predators.
On May 8, the Stars were eliminated from playoff contention after the Nashville Predators defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3β1, [2] becoming the first team since the 2014β15 Los Angeles Kings to miss the playoffs after making the Stanley Cup Finals the year prior.
