DALLAS -- When the Dallas Stars host the Chicago Blackhawks at American Airlines Center on Tuesday (8:30 p.m. ET; CSN-CH, FS-SW+), it will mark the first time Stars defenseman Johnny Oduya and forward Patrick Sharp, former Blackhawks, will face their old team in the regular season.
Oduya, a member of Chicago's Stanley Cup championship teams in 2013 and 2015, signed with Dallas as a free agent last summer; as expected, he's made a seamless transition into the Stars defensive core.
Sharp, who played for the Blackhawks' title teams in 2010, 2013 and 2015, came to the Stars in a July trade that sent defenseman Trevor Daley and forward Ryan Garbutt to Chicago for Sharp and defenseman Stephen Johns, currently with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League.
