Anton Forsberg made 33 saves for Chicago (12-9-5).
"He was good. He gave us a chance," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "He had some great looks and some good chances with some people at the net and had some dangerous zone time."
Dallas took a 1-0 at 5:57 of the first period when Radulov scored his ninth goal of the season on the power play.
Cody Franson tied it at 1-1 at 8:31 on a slap shot from the point. Ryan Hartman and Duncan Keith had assists, while Patrick Sharp set up a screen to help Franson score his first goal of the season.

"I just feel confident. The whole team feels confident," Faksa said. "If we keep winning it's more fun and we feel confident. You can tell on the ice we play well together and it's way different than the start of the season."

Brandon Saad tied the game 2-2 at 19:19 when he deflected a point shot by Connor Murphy.
Bishop and Forsberg made big saves in the third period and overtime, with Bishop stopping the final 11 shots he faced.
"He's a hell of a goalie. I was saying that even before this season when I was playing against him. I knew that, but we've got to help him," Radulov said. "We've got to help him even more, get in front of those shots and block those shots because he's there for us and we've got to be there for him too."

They said it

"It's tough not winning, but it was a decent job in here on the road. We played a tight game. They didn't get too many chances. It's tough that we didn't get the two points." -- Blackhawks goalie Anton Forsberg
"Chicago is not a bad place to play on the road, it's not hard to get up for those games. And obviously playing at home, they bring a lot of fans down here so we knew it was going to be a crazy atmosphere and that's what you love as a player and as a fan of the game. You want to see playoff-type games in the regular season." -- Stars defenseman Stephen Johns on the home-and-home with Chicago
