Chicago at Minnesota

The Chicago Blackhawks have been the best team in the NHL in the early going, opening the season at a franchise best 6-0. They are not only at the top of their game to start the season, they are well rested, last on the ice on Sunday. The Wild are not as fortunate, as they catch the hot Blackhawks in what will be their third game in four nights. Chicago's success can be in part attributed to penalty killing, as they have succeeded to thwart opponents in 22 of 23 tries. The Wild are just 18-40 overall in their last 58 games, including a woeful 3-13 in their last 16 vs. the Central. Chicago has had recent success here as they have claimed four wins in their last five trips to Minnesota. Take Chicago.
