The Blackhawks have won only 3 games of their last 12 and are on a 6 game losing streak at home. Surprinsingly they beat the Jets as road underdogs but then they lost against the Blue Jackets 7-4 at home.

Chicago's offense has been bad, they have scored two goals or less in five out of the last 10 games. They rank 30th in goals per game and 30th in shots per game. They've lost by 2 or more goals in the last 6 losses.

Dallas are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road.

Chicago are 3-9 SU in their last 12 games.

Chicago are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games at home.

The Stars have been hot lately and playing really good on the road, on the other side the Blackhawks are playing really bad at home and are losing by 2 or more goals the games. Dallas is 3-1 last 4 games against Chicago. Give me the Stars.
