Chicago could be in trouble on Thursday night as they travel to Dallas where the Stars are 11-3-1 on their home ice.
The Blackhawks have played a bit better lately winning 2 of 4 but oddsmakers aren’t giving them much of a chance in this one with a line of Dallas -190
Chicago Blackhawks
Oddsmakers have set the O/U at 6 tonight which seems low as Chicago sends Cam Ward out in net. He did have a good outing to fuel the ‘Hawks 2-1 win over Nashville on Tuesday stopping 31 of 32 shots.
Prior to that however, Ward has made 7 starts since November 1st and has allowed 4+ goals in 5 of them.

Can the Chicago offense give their goaltender some support on Thursday? The answer to that is ‘probably not.’ The Blackhawks have the absolute worst power play offense in the league and are 22nd in goals/game.
Chicago has lit the lamp for 3+ goals in 4 of the last 5 but they’re facing a top 5 Dallas defense in this matchup.
Dallas Stars
The Stars are happy to be back home after going 0-4 on their most recent road trip. The Stars are on a 37-18 run over their last 55 home games but are a very solid 11-3-1 at American Airlines this year.
Dallas had a 2-0 shutout win over Calgary in their return home Tuesday. .

Ben Bishop should be able to shut down the Chicago offense pretty handily. The Dallas goaltender has given up just 2 goals total in his last 3 starts.
A lot of Bishop’s success this year is a tip of the hat to the Stars defense which has allowed less than 30 SOG in 6 of his last 10 appearances.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Blackhawks are 1-6 in their last 7 on 1 days rest
- Stars are 1-4 in their last 5
- Blackhawks are 0-4 the last 4 H2H meetings

Chicago would have a nice payout on the upset at +163 but that’s a risk that just doesn’t seem worth taking considering the matchups. The Stars are great at home and have a top notch defense up against an offense that is in disarray.
