Blackhawks and Stars face off for the first time this season Thursday at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
Chicago has struggled on the road with a 4-12-2 mark, and they haven’t won away from the United Center since a 5-4 overtime victory Nov. 24 at Florida. It’s another glaring sore spot in a forgettable season.
The Blackhawks enter Thursday’s game after a 2-1 home win over Nashville on Tuesday. Cam Ward made 30 saves in his first start filling in as Chicago’s No. 1 netminder for Corey Crawford, who suffered his second concussion in less than a year Sunday.
