Dallas at Chicago

Dallas is a bad road team playing its 11th road game over the last 17 contests. The team is on a 15-37 run on the road, including 5-22 away against teams with winning home records. The offense has taken a step back this season, but the defense is improved under the new coaching staff to ninth in goals allowed, and seventh in penalty killing. Dallas is also a woeful 1-for-23 on the power play over the past seven games. Chicago is on a 5-2-1 run with star power and great balance, ninth in goals scored, and fifth in goals allowed and penalty killing. The Blackhawks are 69-26 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Goalie Corey Crawford was rested Tuesday and is 4-0-1 in his last five starts. He also won all three appearances against Dallas last season, allowing a combined seven goals. With Chicago 34-22 UNDER the total at home against teams averaging 29.5+ shots on goal per game, back home ice in a defensive battle. Play Chicago and the UNDER.
