The Blackhawks will look to keep pace in the Central Division standings on Thursday as they face the Stars again at the United Center.
Chicago sits two points back of Nashville for the fourth spot in the Central division. The Tuesday win over the floundering Stars — 3-4-3 in their last 10 games and on a two-game losing streak — helped them remain in striking distance of Nashville.
This time, however, Dallas head coach Rick Bowness will return to the Stars’ bench. The Stars’ bench boss had missed part of one game and all of Tuesday’s action while being in COVID-19 protocols, later confirmed as the result of a false positive test result.
