Blackhawks vs. Stars: Today’s Best NHL Bets & Picks
It’s a thin three-game slate in the NHL tonight that sees the Jets take on the Islanders, the Coyotes host the Flames, and the Blackhawks go for their fourth straight win against the Stars.
We crept back into the positives thanks to a 3-0 night last night. Let’s keep it rolling! Here are my top three plays on the ice tonight. Below is a closer look at Blackhawks vs. Stars.

Blackhawks vs. Stars
Two teams trending in opposite directions face off tonight in Dallas. Pick any other block of this season, and it’d typically be the Hawks who were trending downward and the Stars up; however, Dallas has dropped four straight games while Chicago notched its third straight win last night. These Central Division foes get going at 9:30 p.m. ET tonight in the Lone Star State.
Despite the recent woes, this game presents an excellent opportunity for the Stars to get back in the win column. They boast the third-ranked overall defense (2.42 GAA) and are tasked with taking on the league’s second-worst offense (2.5 GPG). Furthermore, as I mentioned, the Hawks played last night, taking out the Golden Knights in a shootout.
Meanwhile, the Stars are fresh, not having played since a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday. With the possibility that they drop out of first place in the division tonight, I expect the Stars to bring their best game against arguably the worst team in the league. Look for Jake Oettinger (23-7-9, 2.20 GAA, .926 SV%) to shut down this lowly Chicago offense while the Dallas offense does enough to stretch out the lead by 2+ goals. Let’s take the Stars on the puck line.
Bet: Dallas Stars -1.5 (-145 via PointsBet)
