The 1998–99 Dallas Stars season was the Stars' sixth season in Dallas, Texas, and the thirty-second of the franchise. They would defeat the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup finals to win the first Stanley Cup for the Stars in franchise history.

Offseason

Under a league-wide realignment from four to six divisions, the NHL moved the Stars from the Central to the Pacific Division. This resulted in the oddity of Dallas, a city near the longitudinal center of the contiguous United States and in the Central Time Zone, having none of its major professional sports teams in a "Central Division" despite the fact that all of the then-established major leagues at this time had divisions with some form of that name. This would temporarily change when the Dallas Burn of the then-new Major League Soccer were placed in a newly-formed Central Division in 2000, but MLS reverted to an Eastern and Western Conference format without additional divisions after only two seasons. The Stars would eventually return to the Central Division after the NHL returned to a four division alignment in 2013.

Regular season

The Stars finished the regular season with the NHL's best record and first overall in goals against, with just 168. They also tied the St. Louis Blues and San Jose Sharks for fewest short-handed goals allowed, with 4.^[2]

Stanley Cup engraving

††Brent Severyn played only 30 games, missing 22 regular season games due to injuries, and was a healthy scratch for the playoffs. Dallas included him on the Stanley Cup because he spent the whole season with Dallas. Derek Plante played 41 regular season games for Buffalo and 10 for Dallas. He also played 6 playoff games. His name was included on the cup because he spent the whole season in the NHL.
† Members were included on the 1999 Stanley Cup Picture but were not engraved on the cup.
In February, Dallas added Doug Lidster from the Canadian National Team and Brad Lukowich from the minor league Kalamazoo Wings. Lidster played 17 regular season and 4 playoff games. Lukowich played 14 regular season and 8 playoff games (2 games in the conference finals). They were left off the cup even though they played in the playoffs.
