Stars 6, Blackhawks 3: Cody Eakin collected two goals and an assist while Kari Lehtonen made 38 saves as visiting Dallas defeated Chicago for the first time in four meetings this season.

Tyler Seguin scored his 28th goal to pull even with New York Rangers forward Rick Nash for the NHL lead and also added an assist. Captain Jamie Benn set up three tallies, Erik Cole scored for the third time in four games and Vernon Fiddler and Shawn Horcoff also converted for the Stars.

Brandon Saad scored twice to increase his goal total to five in four games and Patrick Kane also tallied for the Blackhawks, who have dropped five of eight contests in January. Defenseman Brent Seabrook notched a pair of assists and Corey Crawford turned aside 28 shots in the setback.

After netting a short-handed goal midway into the first period, Eakin scored from the right doorstep to finish off a tic-tac-toe passing sequence with Benn and Seguin at 2:58 of the third for a power-play tally to give Dallas a 4-3 lead. Cole converted a 2-on-1 rush eight minutes later before Horcoff's empty-net tally with 60 seconds remaining sealed the win.
