The Chicago Blackhawks will seek to rebound from a 3-2 shootout loss against Central division rivals the St. Louis Blues Wednesday night. They're visiting another division foe Friday night when traveling to Dallas to take on the Stars, and I like the Hawks in tonight's match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Dallas' Recent Games - The Stars have lost five of their last seven overall and four of their last five home at American Airlines Center. They have surrendered a league-high 40 goals over 10 contests since Feb 18 and the defensive woes can in part be attriuted to injuries on blue-liners John Klingberg and Jordie Benn and the duo will be forced to sit out this contest as well. They're struggling at the other end of the rink as well and Tyler Seguin has been held off the scoresheet in a season-high five straight games.

2. The Blackhawks' Power Play - Chicago has the most effective power play unit in the NHL with a 24.2% efficiency. It has been particularly prolific in recent games converting on 7-of-16 opportunities in the last five games.

3. X-Factor - The Blackhawks have won eight of the past 10 meetings in Dallas including a 5-1 win on Feb. 6.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Blackhawks (10*)
