Result:
WIN

Is this Chicago team for real under new head coach Denis Savard? They are 3-0. But, getting their first four-game win streak since March of 2002 is going to be extremely difficult. Minnesota has won 8 of the last 10 games between these two teams played here at home. Chicago is still just 4-9 on the road where they give up 3.7 goals per game. Minnesota can play defense, especially at home (2.0 goals per game). Minnesota, losers of seven of eight games, can't afford to keep losing and this is one they should win. Don't let that recent record scare you too much. Four of those losses came on the road and two of the three home losses were against San Jose and Detroit. At home against a team this poor, they should take care of business.
