One more game before the Winter Classic, and it’s the first Blackhawks’ home game since they swept their three-game homestand in the middle of the month of December. It can’t get much worse than the dumpster fire we watched in Buffalo…. right?
The Stars come in 4-5-1 in their last ten and have slid to fourth in the division. They might be the more desperate team right now. Which doesn’t bode well for the organ-I-zation. But hey! It’s another Blackhawks game on national television so we’ve got that going for us. Which is nice.

Injury Report
Chicago Blackhawks
Laurent Brossoit (knee), Alec Martinez (neck) and Craig Smith (back) are on IR.Dallas Stars
Tyler Seguin and Matt Dumba are on IR. Mason Marchment is out.What to Watch For
The Blackhawks fully, completely soiled the bed in their first game back from the Christmas break. They can’t start much worse than they did in Buffalo on Friday night… right? Bedard extended his point streak to three games wrapping around the holiday and now has 14 points in 13 games in December. He scored the game-winner when the Blackhawks beat the Stars before Thanksgiving. We’ll see how long these defensive pairs stay as-is… because Brodie-Jones is a grenade if I’ve ever seen one. Another game on national television (not the still-limited CHSN). The Blackhawks players have made it clear they know when they’re on TV and want to show well because they want people to want to come to their games at the United Center.Get Caught Up

Wyatt Kaiser flew in late last night and played in back to back games for Rockford so he’ll get a rest. #Blackhawks
