T.M. Selection: Chicago Blackhawks.

I like the Chicago Blackhawks to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. The Blackhawks haven't looked great lately with 6 losses in a row but they haven't really been getting blown out in a lot of those losses either. They lost 3 of those games by just 1 goal and I think they can bounce back here on home ice and break out of their funk a bit with a win. They were shut out on home ice in their most recent game and they were shut out by the Kraken who are 2nd to last in the West. That is a really embarrassing loss for them on home ice and I think their pride will come out in this game leading them to score more goals. I expect a much harder effort from them in this game after a game where they were shut out and especially after the team they were shut out by. The Stars haven't looked great lately either and I think the Blackhawks are catching them in a good spot here. The Stars have lost 2 games in a row and are on a B2B here in a road game right after losing on home ice to the Devils the day before. They have had some bad losses lately, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games and 2 of those losses coming against some of the worst teams in the league. I think the Stars have fallen into a bit of a funk at the moment and I see them continuing to struggle in this game with an angry Blackhawks team coming at them here. I like the Blackhawks to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Blackhawks.
