Chicago has a winning road record with plenty of star power in Captain Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Chicago has scored first in eight of its last nine games. The Blackhawks are 5-3 their last eight road contests, winning four times as a dog. They head to Minnesota, a team ranked #16 in goals allowed and in penalty killing. That defense let them down the last game, losing 4-3 at home to Arizona as a -240 favorite. Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk took the loss and also lost at home to this Chicago team, 2-0, earlier in the season. The Blackhawks have won five of the last seven meetings and the road team has won six of eight between these division rivals. Play Chicago.
