Lankinen made 34 saves for the Blackhawks, who
erased a one-goal deficit to extend their winning streak to
three games. Chicago took both halves of a two-game set with the
Stars with identical 2-1 overtime scores and has claimed at
least one point in 10 of its last 11 games -- a solid 6-1-4 run
following a three regulation losses to start the season.
Coming into the game having lost four of five, the Stars were
looking for a quick start and received it when Roope Hintz
opened the scoring at 4:57 of the first period. Jason Robertson
stole the puck from Suter, who was trying to leave the zone, and
got it to Hintz, who capitalized for his third goal of the
season with a backhand deke.
Dallas captain Jamie Benn appeared to score a rebound goal to
double the lead, but it was ruled goalie interference after the
Blackhawks challenged.
Then, Chicago's power play finally clicked late in the second
period to even the game. After his team failed to convert on a
trio of first-period advantages, Mattias Janmark redirected
Dominik Kubalik's centering feed to score against his old team
at 14:04 of the second frame.
In the minutes following, the Blackhawks generated a few scoring
chances -- the best for Carl Soderberg -- but couldn't convert.
It was the same story for the first 10 minutes of the third
period before the hosts could find their legs. As time wound
down, Dallas had a few chances but couldn't find the twine, the
best when Radek Faksa failed to finish a breakaway with four
minutes remaining in regulation.
Jake Oettinger made 27 saves for Dallas.
The Blackhawks were without defenseman Connor Murphy due to a
hip issue, which drew Madison Bowey into the lineup for his
first game with Chicago.
