Colorado at Chicago

The Blackhawks are beginning to come out of the fog after winning the Stanley Cup last year. They started brutally at home, but have recovered to having gone 3-1 and evening up the home ledger. The Avalanche are running hot and cold as they have now won three straight off of four straight losses. They will get the Blackhawk's attention here as this back-to-back home and home series comes to Chicago, with the 7-5 loss fresh in the minds of the Hawks. The Avalanche have not fared well in the second game of home and home consecutive games, dropping their last four. The Blackhawks are bearing down after allowing five or more in their last game, coming back to go 24-9 in their next contest. The Avalanche are with just one win in the last six at Chicago, which says Chicago is the way to go in this one.
