The Stars would eventually return to the Central Division after the NHL returned to a four division alignment in 2013. 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. This resulted in the oddity of Dallas, a city near the longitudinal center of the contiguous of the 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. Under a league-wide realignment from four to six divisions, the NHL moved the Stars from the Central to the Pacific Division. They would defeat the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup finals to win the first Stanley Cup for the Stars in franchise history. The 1998–99 Dallas Stars season was the Stars' sixth season in Dallas, Texas, and the thirty-second of the franchise.
