Dallas at Chicago

Both teams have been eliminated from postseason play, and both had losing streaks snapped in their previous games. Dallas comes off a 5-2 win over Tampa Bay on Friday as Joe Pavelski had two goals and two assists. The Stars have had a tough season dealing with COVID issues and then slumping after a hot start. Chicago was looking better than expected with rookie goalie Kevin Lankinen impressive in net, but then the Blackhawks faded down the stretch. Anton Khudobin is probable for the Stars tonight, and he has a 2.49 goals-against average compared to 3.04 for Lankinen. Dallas has won six of seven versus teams with losing records, and the Blackhawks are 9-31 their past 40 games against an opponent that scored at least five goals its previous game. Take the Stars.
