The Chicago Blackhawks take on the Dallas Stars at the United Center on Tuesday night for their second of a three-game homestead before they head back out on the road.
The Stars couldn’t be more different from the Blackhawks: Dallas is in an intense battle for the top seed in the Central Division while Chicago is racing to the bottom for a chance at the best NHL Draft lottery odds. Unfortunately for the Stars, they have been inconsistent lately, going just 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, while both the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche have gotten points in all but one game during the same span.
