The Black Hawks were beaten up by Columbus, are beaten up by injury, and face a 7-3 Stars team, pumped after a big win against Colorado. Hawks are 30th in defense but will have Fleury back in net, which may help their cause somewhat. The Stars don't give away much to inferior teams, and have been much better on the road recently. The Stars are not yet out of the playoff picture, while the Hawks are just treading water. Off a loss, and on the wrong end of a back to back, I don't expect much out of the Black Hawks on Friday. Take the Stars to win.
