Dallas Stars Travel to Chicago to Face the Blackhawks

The Dallas Stars will travel to the United Center on Sunday evening to take on the Chicago Blackhawks in a Central Division matchup.

This will be the third and final regular-season game with the Stars having won both games so far, including a 1-0 road shootout win back on February 18.

Dallas is currently fifth in the Central Division (40-26-3, 83 points), while Chicago is seventh in the Central Division (24-35-11, 59 points) right now. 

This game has a good amount of stakes and some storylines, so it should be an intriguing matchup. Let’s take a closer look at the Dallas Stars and the Chicago Blackhawks to figure out on which side we should put our money on.

Dallas is doing decently well offensively as they are scoring 2.90 goals on 30.7 shots up to this point. Center Joe Pavelski has been doing decently well for the team as he is tied for 29th in the sport in assists and tied for 31st in the league in points as he has posted 68 points (25 goals, 43 assists) with just two points in his last five games.

On the defensive side of the ice, the Stars are allowing 2.96 goals allowed on 30.8 shot attempts. Goaltender Jake Oettinger has been doing decently well as he is 25-12-1 with 2.48 goals allowed per game and a .916 save percentage.

Dallas Stars at Chicago Blackhawks Betting Prediction

These teams are not very different on the offensive side of the ice as of late as in the previous five games; the Stars are averaging three goals per game in that stretch while the Blackhawks are scoring 2.8 goals per game.

Neither team is doing well at killing penalties either, as the Stars are killing 78.8 percent of penalties while the Blackhawks are killing 75.5 percent of all penalties against them. Dallas is a brutal 29-40 against the spread this season, while Chicago is a mediocre 35-35 against the spread this season.

All in all, go with the Chicago Blackhawks to cover the puck line at home.
