Dallas 6, Blackhawks 3
It was a bad weekend for the Bulls and Blackhawks at the United Center. The Hawks put a cherry on a sour float Sunday night as they fell short against another strong goalie in Kari Lehtonen, who stopped 38 of the Hawks' 41 shots. Corey Crawford, meanwhile, was a sieve throughout. Crawford put the Blackhawks in an early 2-0 hole from which his teammates could not overcome. Brandon Saad scored twice and Patrick Kane tallied agoal for Chicago, while Cody Eakin scored twice for the Stars.

Chicago has now lost three of its last four games and dropped two straight for the first time since Nov. 1-2. The slump has dropped them into third place in the NHL's Central Division.
