Bet Tonight’s Stars vs. Blackhawks Game
Chicago has been dreadful against Western Conference teams that currently hold a spot in the postseason, posting a 0-7-2 record in its last nine games versus those opponents. The Blackhawks have also won just six of their last 17 games while the Stars have won back-to-back games while outscoring their opponents (NY Islanders and Tampa Bay) by a combined 7-3 score.
That said, it’s difficult to beat an opponent three times in one season, nevertheless four times in one year. Perhaps Scott Darling, who will start tonight in net while Corey Crawford deals with an upper body injury, will help the Hawks get out of their recent funk. Patrick Sharp will also return after he missed the March 11 game between these two teams due to an injury.
