Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas Stars head-to-head record

The last five games between the Blackhawks and the Stars have been a tie, with Dallas ahead 3-2 in the series. The last time these two teams fought, was on the 28th of November 2024, Chicago won 6-2, showing how strong their offense is. Dallas has shown they are tough, though, by winning three of their remaining games, including a strong 3-1 win on November 8, 2024.

The Stars might have the edge because their lineup is more balanced and they do better in face-offs, but Chicago is still dangerous because they can score when they get the chance, as shown by their two wins. It looks like this game will come down to whether Chicago can get past Dallas' defense and goalie or whether the Stars' planned play wins out.
