Dallas at Chicago

The Chicago Blackhawks are starting to come out of their funk after winning the Stanley Cup last year. The Blackhawks have now won four of their last five games and three of their last four at home. Their 7-3 mark in their last ten is their best ten game stretch of the season to date. Dallas has played brilliant hockey at home on the season, but have been rather pedestrian on the road and are now 3-5 in their last eight out of Dallas. The Stars have performed poorly as a road dog where they are just 12-26 in their last 38, while the Blackhawks are an outstanding 56-26 as a home favorite in their last 82. The Stars are just 2-6 in their last eight trips to Chicago. I'm riding on Chicago in this one.
