Corey Crawford made 31 saves to help Chicago win its second game in a row after a three-game losing streak.
"We're doing things right. It's never fun to lose," said Ryan Hartman, who scored Chicago's first goal. "We know we're a really good team, and we know we can win a lot of games and a lot of games on the road, so it feels good to get back on the winning track, and hopefully just keep it rolling."

The Blackhawks (32-17-5) are 4-0-0 against the Stars (21-22-10), who have lost two straight.
Crawford passed Ed Belfour for third place on Chicago's all-time wins list with his 202nd NHL victory. He trails Glenn Hall (275) and Tony Esposito (418).

Highlight of the game

"That was great," Crawford said. "We're creating so much offensively and things are going in bunches for us right now. We're never out of a game, and it was nice to get those goals there."

Unsung performance of the game

Hartman dove to disrupt a shot attempt by Benn with 1:56 remaining. "Oh, what a play," Quenneville said. "Diving poke. Good anticipation there."

They said it

"It's huge for us. We can't just rely on our top guys to get points every single night. It's tough for those guys too, to play against other teams' top D-men all the time, and you can't count on them to get two or three goals every night. So it helps us out a lot when the whole team contributes. We got two goals from the D today too, so that was huge." -- Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson on their depth
"It's a terrible loss, especially after we took the lead and we gave their best player a free look, and then we get a D trapped on the game-winner. That's not good hockey at all." -- Stars coach Lindy Ruff
