Stars vs. Blackhawks Prediction
I’m on the Stars here. I get the case to be made for Chicago, but this is a Blackhawks team that’s scoring 2 goals or less more often than not, and there’s only so often that you can get away with that before it comes back to bite you in the butt. Dallas is still one of the more balanced teams in the NHL, and I think they show that balance with a win on the road in this one. Give me Dallas.
