Last 10 matches: Dallas 6-4-0; Chicago 5-4-1
The Stars will attempt to work their way toward a season sweep of the Blackhawks, a feat they have not accomplished since the 2005-06 season. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, have been among the NHL’s top teams and are attempting to end the season with the most points in the Western Conference. The last time Chicago had the most points in its respective conference was the 1992-93 season when it won the former Campbell Conference with 106 points as a member of the renamed and realigned Norris Division.Now that Ribeiro is back and center Mike Modano returned on Saturday after missing a game with a lower-body injury, Dallas will only be without center Tom Wandell (knee surgery). … The ‘Hawks are expected to have a fully healthy roster.
Niemi, the Chicago backup goalie, leads the NHL this season with a 1.93 GAA over 19 games played. However, when you combine his GAA with regular Blackhawks starter Cristobal Huet, that 2.11 number is still good for tops in the League when compared to any individual regular starting goaltender this season. Ryan Miller, Buffalo’s starter, is third in the NHL with a 2.16 GAA behind Niemi and Boston Bruins backup Tuukka Rask (2.02 GAA).
