For the first time in 2021, the Blackhawks will host the Stars at the United Center on Tuesday evening, the first of yet another two-game set against a Central Division opponent.
The four prior 2021 games between these two divisional foes have all taken place in Dallas, with Chicago winning the first two in overtime and the teams splitting the second stanza, leaving the Blackhawks with a 3-1 record against the Stars so far this season.
Dallas has been in the center of the hockey news following bizarre developments during Sunday’s game against the Hurricanes, when coach Rick Bowness was pulled from the bench during the second intermission due to COVID-19 protocols.
