Chicago Blackhawks vs. Dallas Stars Prediction

I’m on the Stars here. It’s a hefty price, but the Blackhawks just look lost without Connor Bedard right now. I’m sure the Blackhawks will be getting Bedard back soon, but until they do, it’s hard for me to see Chicago competing here. I think the Stars beat up on the Blackhawks here and get the win so give me Dallas.
