Joe Pavelski might be out of chances to win a Stanley Cup championship after the Dallas Stars came up short in the playoffs once again.

It is unclear if the nearly 40-year-old Pavelski wants to give it another try after a combined 1,533 NHL regular-season and playoff games, and now back-to-back seasons that ended with a Game 6 loss in the Western Conference final. Even if he does, there is no certainty of a new contract since he is unsigned past this season.
