Stars at Blackhawks, Tuesday, 8:30 p.m. (NBCSN)
Dallas has had Chicago’s number this season, winning three of their four meetings so far and outscoring the Blackhawks, 14-9. But for the final meeting of the regular season, the Stars will be without Tyler Seguin, their second-leading scorer, who sustained a 15 percent cut of his right Achilles’ tendon last Thursday. He is expected to miss three to four weeks, but he hopes to return for the start of the playoffs.
