Dallas Stars vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction 

Chicago had their two-game winning streak snapped by Detroit on Wednesday night by a score of 4-1, which means they will be on a back-to-back in this situation. The Blackhawks are 4-4-1 on the road this year and have won two of their last three road games, but Dallas is 5-1-0 at home. The Stars did drop both games against the Panthers in Finland, but they defeated this Chicago team by a score of 4-2 back on October 26th. The Blackhawks aren’t good enough offensively to test this Dallas defense, so I like the Stars -1.5 here.
