The Blackhawks have played at a high level all season, except for a recent slump that saw them end up on the right side of two of nine games. They have rebounded to play at their expected high level, winners of three straight. The difference is Antti Niemi and solid defense that has allowed just 2 goals in the last three games (less than 1 per contest). The Stars have been good at home, but not recently with 60% of their last 10 here finishing on the losing side. They have only allowed 17 goals in their last eight games, but a lack of offense has led to just a split of the eight games. Chicago is impossible to beat when they get a hot hand behind the net as they have now, so I'll go with Chicago and the UNDER in this one.
