Chicago won four in a row at home before suffering an embarrassing 6-0 road loss to red-hot Washington on Friday. Now the Blackhawks are back home where they have won 17 of 25 times this season.

The price has come down enough to get involved here with Chicago as the spot highly favors the Blackhawks.

Minnesota is playing extremely well. But this is the Wild's third game in four days and second in two days. They just nipped the Stars, 5-4, in Dallas on Saturday to replace the Blackhawks as Central Division leaders.

Not only do the Blackhawks want to reclaim the top spot, but have revenge for last season when the Wild swept all five games. Prior to last season, though, the Blackhawks had beaten the Wild seven of the past eight times at home.
