Start time: **2:00 PM EST / 11:00 AM PST** In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Stars region: Victory+ Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+
There are several opportunities for an NHL team to immediately get back on the ice following a loss each season, and especially in a year such as this with a compressed schedule for the Olympic break. It’s not so common for the turnaround to be quite so quick; today’s start will be just 2...

The Blackhawks picked up their second win over the Dallas Stars in less than a week, knocking off their Central Division foes 4-3 at the United Center on Thursday night.
Chicago scored first at the 11:48 mark of the first when Arytom Levshunov capped a period of sustained offensive pressure during a power play:

For the second time in six days, the Blackhawks and Stars have a hockey date arranged, with Thursday’s events shifting venues to the United Center.
Chicago won that prior meeting 4-3 with the aid of the shootout , with rookie Nick Lardis providing the winning tally during the final gimmick portion of the game to give the Hawks’ a much-needed pair of points, as that was one of Chicago’s three victories in the month of December and only win in the last nine games.

Kiefer Sherwood is has turned into one of the more interesting names on the market, and the Dallas Stars are popping up as a fit. Vancouver has made its pending unrestricted free agents available, and Sherwood checks a lot of boxes for a contender because he's producing at a career level while carrying a low cap hit. With 16 goals in 38 games and a reputation for being a heavy, disruptive winger, he looks like the kind of add that can matter in tight playoff hockey, especially for a Star...

The Blake Coleman trade chatter is getting louder. Insider Frank Seravalli has openly connected the Calgary Flames winger to his hometown team, the Dallas Stars .

The Blackhawks didn’t skate until they warmed up on the ice in Dallas since losing to the Flyers. And they were facing one of the best teams in the league. So… yeah. Odds weren’t in their favor. But they played a really good first period. Chicago took the lead 3:20 into the first period and I’m not sure Arvid Söderblom ever saw the shot that tied the game almost eight minutes later. The Hawks had an 8-4 advantage in scoring chances and 3-2 advantage in high danger chances at 5-on-5 thru 20 min...

The Blackhawks flew to Dallas this morning after the NHL’s Christmas break. They did not fly early enough to take a morning skate; they’ll just jump on the ice and go tonight against a Stars team that has the second-best record in the NHL.
We won’t know if Nick Foligno is coming back off IR or if there are any lineup changes until head coach Jeff Blashill addresses the media for the first time after the break at 5:30. I’m going with the same lineup they had against Philly before the break...

The Blackhawks head to Dallas on Saturday to take on one of the league’s top teams in the Stars with hopes of snapping a brutal six-game losing streak.
The Stars have spent most of the 2025–26 season parked firmly among the NHL’s heavyweights, trailing only the Colorado Avalanche in the league with a .737 points percentage and a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games. However, their success hasn’t been really driven by territorial dominance: at 5-on-5, Dallas ranks 31st in shot attempt share...

The Minnesota Wild have chosen to go for it for at least the next couple of years and are in the most competitive division (playoff teams) in the league. They are third in the NHL, but are also third in their own division behind the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars . The Wild signed Kirill Kaprizov to a massive deal in the offseason and acquired Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks not too long ago.

When Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares alone combine to double the other team’s total in high-danger chances, the Maple Leafs are supposed to win the hockey game. Instead, the Leafs’ only goal came from Scott Laughton, and they ultimately lost 5-1, a scoreline that flattered the Stars. Despite breakaways for Matthews and Nylander, […]

Afterwards, Ott outed Laviolette's actions as arrogant, adding "It's disrespect of our building, just let our team off, it's not that big of a deal."

The San Jose Sharks managed to hang with the Dallas Stars and show that this team has some of the skill that it needs to play among the best in the NHL, but that finish isn’t quite there. The best teams in the NHL know how to negate mistakes, and the Sharks, well, they’re still learning.
