The Blackhawks showed a little life pulling out a 2-1 overtime road win against Carolina this past Thursday in their last game.

But really my entire handicap here is a fade on the Stars. Dallas has to be demoralized. The Stars were impressive in a 5-2 win against the Lightning this past Friday. But on Saturday the Stars found out their playoff hopes were ended by the Predators defeating the Hurricanes. 

So I don't see how the Stars get motivated for this meaningless matchup. 

The Blackhawks have played Dallas tough this season going 2-2-2. The Stars have lost four of their last five road games.

At this big of a 'dog price, I'll take a shot with Chicago.
