The Blackhawks are playing well, goalie Corey Crawford is hot and the spot sets up well for Chicago. So I'll lay this juice in order to back the Blackhawks here.

Chicago is is 5-2-1 in its last eight games. The Blackhawks rested Crawford in their last game, a 3-2 road loss to the Predators this past Tuesday. Crawford is 4-0-1 in his last five starts. Chicago was 3-0 versus Dallas last seasoh when Crawford was in net.

Dallas is coming off a rare road win beating Las Vegas, 3-0, this past Tuesday. That snapped a four-game road winless skid for the Stars, who are 4-8-1 away this season. Dallas has a terrible history when playing above .500 foes on the road going 5-22-2 the past 29 times.

Goalie Ben Bishop played well versus the Golden Knights. But Bishop has struggled most of the season on the road. His road statistics are 3-6 with a 3.62 GAA and .887 save percentage. Chicago is a top-10 scoring team that is averaging four goals per game in its last eight games. The Blackhawks have fired 35 or more shots on goal in all but two of their last 14 games.
