Characterized by odd-man rushes and transition offense, an absence of consistent goaltending and a middling record, the Chicago Blackhawks play hockey a little differently. Their brand is unique and uncommon, and on Saturday night, it handed the Stars a 2-1 loss.
Chicago scored twice on the rush on Saturday night, negating a terrific performance from Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin and snapping Dallas’ four-game winning streak. The Stars could have matched a season-high by winning their fifth straight game.
Alexander Radulov scored again Saturday night after his first career hat trick against Colorado on Thursday night. Khudobin made 37 saves in defeat, but denied the Blackhawks on post-to-post saves often, including a magnificent save on Dominik Kahun at the end of the second period.
