Dallas is the better team here, but my model expects this to be a close game. The Blackhawks are covering in 69% of my simulations. Stars goalie Jake Oettinger has looked vulnerable recently. Expect a tight one in Chicago tonight.

I can't pass on this game at 5.5 when all three games between the Stars and Blackhawks have soared over this total. Jake Oettinger gave up four goals in each of his two starts against the Hawks this season, and he has a 3.43 GAA in his last 13. Chicago's Alex Stalock has been surprisingly decent, but so has the Stars' offense.
