Patrick Sharp and Johnny Oduya were back in Chicago Thursday night as the Stars faced the Blackhawks at the United Center.

Both players were pivotal members of multiple Stanley Cup championship teams in Chicago, so to say thanks the Blackhawks recognized each player with a tribute video during the first period.

The two teams are competing for first place in the Central Division, but the Chicago fans had nothing but love for the former Blackhawks.

Along with the game being somewhat of a homecoming for Sharp, it’s also the 800th game of his career.

Dallas led 4-0 after the first period thanks to three goals from Patrick Eaves and cruised to a 4-2 win.

Illinois wetlands deserve protection. Lawmakers should make that happen, while there is still time.
State lawmakers can pass legislation that would restore the safeguards the U.S. Supreme Court removed last year on wetlands, which play a key role in helping to mitigate the impact of climate change and are critical habitats for birds, insects, mammals and amphibians.

Watch and learn: Chicago Palestine Film Festival aims to entertain, educate
Not all filmmakers participating in the 15-day event are of Palestinian descent, but their art reclaims and champions narratives that have been defiled by those who have a Pavlovian tendency to think terrorists — not innocent civilians — when they visualize Palestinian men, women and children.
