The Blackhawks have played soft most of the season in defense of their Stanley Cup, but appear to be making a stretch drive here. They have captured the win in each of their last three games with opponents have scoring just three times - the last one recorded as a shutout. The Coyotes have won eight of their last 10 games despite scoring 4 times or more in just one of them. They have allowed just 2.6 goals per game in the 10, despite an 8-goal meltdown (just 2 goals per game in the other nine). Phoenix is now 33-15-5 to the UNDER facing a team with a winning road record, and the Blackhawks are well rested for this one, and that has meant a 7-1 mark to the UNDER off two days rest in their last eight. The UNDER gets the call.
