The Detroit Red Wings battle it out on the ice against the Dallas Stars in Week 21 of the regular season on Monday, February 29 at 8:30 p.m. EST from the American Airlines Center in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Monday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now in mid-season, Dallas maintains a rather impressive top spot in Joe McDonald's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Detroit falls just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Red Wings (15): "Despite its current place in the wild-card position, Detroit can quickly made its presence felt down the stretch. It seems like only a matter of time before the Red Wings turn it on."

Record: 31-20-11 (4th in Atlantic Division)

Stars (7): "We've already talked about the possibility of the Blackhawks and Capitals in the Stanley Cup finals, but what about the Stars and Rangers? New York defeated Dallas 3-2 on Saturday to hand the Stars their second consecutive loss."

Record: 38-19-2 (2nd in Central Division).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSDT and FSSW.
