The 2003–04 Dallas Stars season was the Stars' 11th season, 37th overall of the franchise.

Off-season

On July 3, defenseman Derian Hatcher signed a five-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings.[1] Mike Modano was named his replacement as team captain later the same day.[2]

Regular season

Only 369 total goals (194 for Dallas, 175 for their opponents) were scored in the Stars' regular-season games: the lowest total of all 30 NHL teams. Twenty-one games of their 82 regular-season games ended in a shutout. They also tied the Columbus Blue Jackets for most times shut out, with 11.[3][4]
