The Chicago Blackhawks soared past the Dallas Stars to a commanding 6-2 victory in an electrifying Black Wednesday night matchup at the United Center. Taylor Hall was undoubtedly the star of the show, scoring his fifth career hat trick and setting the tone for the game with his first goal of the night just 17 seconds into the first period. This early lead was a sign of things to come, as the Blackhawks dominated the game, securing their second win in three games.

Dallas goaltender Casey DeSmith faced a challenging night, allowing four goals on the first 14 shots. The Blackhawks' victory was a team effort, with twelve of the eighteen skaters recording goals or assists.
Notably, Louis Crevier scored his first NHL goal in just his second game up with the NHL club this season following an injury to Seth Jones , adding to the night's memorable moments. Also of note, Petr Mrazek turned away 25 shots on his way to his seventh win of the season. The Blackhawks will look to build on this win as they head to Minnesota to face off against the Wild on Friday afternoon.
