Chicago Blackhawks vs Dallas Stars Prediction: the Hawks Have Nothing to Lose

Prediction for the NHL Chicago Blackhawks vs Dallas Stars match will take place on March 3rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago has been one of the weakest teams in the league in recent years. Realizing this, the leadership of the Hawks started a global players restructuring, which began a long time ago, but now the legends have left the club. The day before, Patrick Kane officially had changed clubs inside the NHL for the first time in his professional career, joining the Rangers. If Chicago suddenly came to life before this exchange, having won five consecutive victories, then in the last two games, they lost to Anaheim and Arizona – 2:4 and 1:4, respectively, going to the last place in the Western Conference standings.

Dallas is an entirely different level of team at the moment. Yes, the Stars also had hard times not so long ago, but now they are among the top teams in the league, planning to solve the most significant problems in the playoffs. The Texans showed consistently good results throughout the regular season but still had hard times in mid-February when they unexpectedly lost five games. Fortunately, it is just history now. They scored five points out of six possible in the last three games. This breakthrough allowed Dallas to rise to second place in the Western Conference standings.

Chicago is failing the current regular season. At the same time, before the exchange of Patrick Kane, the Hawks at least periodically tried to show good hockey. Still, they lost to other league outsiders in the last two games – Anaheim and Arizona. Now Chicago is battling a much more challenging opponent in second place in the Western Conference.

The confrontation between Chicago and Dallas has recently been characterized by stable performance. In the three previous face–to–face meetings, the rivals jointly scored 27 goals to each other (9.00 on average per game) - a high standard even in the NHL. And now we have the right to expect fun hockey from them since the Hawks have nothing to lose, and the Stars are in good shape and will not mind playing in attack.
