The Chicago Blackhawks look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead with a win today over Edmonton. The Chicago Blackhawks put up six goals in Game 1. Dominik Kubalik had two goals, and Duncan Keith added two helpers in the win. Corey Crawford gave up four goals on 29 shots.

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to even this series up after playing poorly on the defensive end in Game 1. The Edmonton Oilers put up four goals but two of them came late when the game was pretty much over. Four players scored for the Oilers with Leon Draisaitl picking up 2 helpers. Mike Smith has given up five goals on 23 shots faced and Mikko Koskinen has allowed one goal on 19 shots.

The Oilers will need to pick it up on the defensive end and will need better goaltending if they want to stay in this series. The Oilers showed they can score and I expect them to tighten up their defense and even the series.

Play on the Edmonton Oilers.
