Ben Bishop made 24 saves and Tyler Seguin scored twice for the Dallas Stars in a 4-0 win to end the Chicago Blackhawks’ five-game win streak Thursday night at American Airlines Center.
The win was also Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock’s 800th NHL victory. Hitchcock is the third coach in NHL history with 800 wins, joining Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville (868) and Scotty Bowman (1,244).
Chicago is off Friday before visiting the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.
