2006–07 Dallas Stars season

The 2006–07 Dallas Stars season was the thirteenth season of operation of the Dallas Stars, 39th over-all of the franchise. The Stars made one major acquisition worth noting: Eric Lindros. With Marty Turco still in goal, and Mike Modano and captain Brenden Morrow leading the team, the Stars qualified for the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
