Chicago won the only meeting this season 5-2 in October, and it comes into this game splitting its past four. However, the Blackhawks come off a 5-3 loss to red-hot Detroit last night after topping Colorado 3-1 on Wednesday as a huge underdog. They find themselves in that role again tonight against Edmonton, which lost 5-3 to Pittsburgh two nights ago. The Oilers are 0-4 their past four games as road favorites of -201 or greater. Arvid Soderblom is likely in net for Chicago, and he has been feast or famine his past four starts; he is due for a good performance following a 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Sunday after stopping 38 of 40 shots his previous game against Montreal. Edmonton is playing its fourth road game in eight days. Take the Blackhawks.
