The Stars lost to the Blackhawks in a tight game Saturday night at home.
Chicago had lost six straight games and seemed to come into American Airlines Center with a plan to end that streak. Dallas, also fresh off a loss, had plenty of good shot opportunities, but the team could not connect. Turnovers abounded and shots kept going wide, but they held their own until a shootout that turned in the Blackhawk’s favor ended things.
Chicago’s Tyler Bertuzzi opened up scoring Saturday night three minutes into the game when he snuck the puck behind Jake Oettinger, who got tied up defending Alex Vlasic — the one who made the quick pass to Bertuzzi.
