In this article, we will formulate a Dallas Stars vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction for this NHL game on Saturday, October 26th, at the American Airlines Center.

Stars Impressed in Last Game

The Stars have gotten out to a fast start to the season and they sure impressed in the last game. The Stars offense scored five goals while the defense gave up only two goals to the Bruins and that led to the victory. Matt Duchene and Tyler Seguin both scored a goal and added two assists. In this game, the Stars need to get the offense going early to try and take advantage of the tired legs. 

The Stars on the season are averaging 3.0 goals while their defense is giving up 1.88 goals per game. The offense is ranked 18th in the league while the defense is ranked 3rd best in the NHL. This still appears to be a defense-first squad.

Why the Stars Will Beat the Blackhawks

  • The Stars have won each of their last four games at American Airlines Center.
  • The Stars have covered the puck line in each of their last five Saturday home games.

Blackhawks on Tired Legs

The Blackhawks are going to be on tired legs after they were defeated 3-2 against the Nashville Predators. The Blackhawks gave up two goals in the second period and that was the difference as they were defeated. Connor Bedard scored a goal but it wasn’t enough as the offense couldn’t get anything going. The Blackhawks are averaging 2.57 goals while their defense is giving up 3.443 goals per game. The offense is ranked 25th in the league while the defense is ranked 20th. The offense for this team just hasn’t been consistent enough. 

Dallas Stars vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

This game is going to be all about the Stars defense. The Blackhawks are on tired legs, and their offense is going to really struggle to get anything going, and that is going to be the difference here. The Stars are going to also have no issue running up the score, and that is going to be the difference here as the Stars are going to end up getting the job done. Back the Stars on the puck line to cash.
