CHICAGO -- Patrick Eaves doesn't score goals in bunches often, but he did in the Dallas Stars' 4-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Thursday.
Eaves' second NHL hat trick helped the Stars (35-15-5) atone for a 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks (36-18-4) at American Airlines Center on Feb. 6 and improve to 2-1-0 against them. He scored all three of his three goals in the first period.
