The Flames (43-27-6) are battling Vancouver for the Northwest title and the third seed in the West's playoff race. They are now one point below the Canucks in the division standings after leading them by 10 as recently as March 6.
Calgary's slide has also put it in danger of missing out on home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. If the Flames are unable to win the division, they'll have to finish ahead of Chicago in another tight battle for the fourth seed.
"We have to be better," leading scorer Jarome Iginla told the Flames' official Web site on Tuesday. "There are still six games left and lots of points on the board. We've got to keep working, keep trying to improve."
While Calgary has just two wins in its last 11 visits to Dallas, going 2-7-1 with one tie since the 2002-03 season, the Stars (34-33-10) have been struggling recently. They snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Center Brendan Morrison scored two power-play goals and Marty Turco had 26 saves for his first win since March 14 against Minnesota. He was 0-5-1 with a 3.19 goals-against average in between victories.
While the Stars will likely be missing the playoffs for the first time since 2002, Morrison - who has eight points in his last seven games - said Dallas, which is in 12th place, is refusing to give up.
"I think we pretty much have to win out if we want a chance. But who knows what can happen," he said. "We just want to play solid hockey right until the end."
