Chicago at Dallas

Three teams are currently tied for fourth place in the Central Division: Minnesota and these two teams, Chicago and Dallas. I like Dallas to make a statement in this game and win big. Chicago is just 7-9 on the road and 4-7 in the division. They have only won seven of their last 17 vs. Western Conference opponents. Dallas is 10-5 at home where their scoring soars (3.5 per game) and their defense is dominant (2.5 per game allowed). The Stars are 24-8 the past couple of seasons at home after a loss including 10-1 after 3+ straight setbacks. In their last 59 home games vs. losing teams, the Stars are 40-19. Take Dallas to win by 2+ goals.
