Chicago has some rare good news as Jonathan Toews is set to return to the lineup for the first time since Jan. 28 and that will be a great inspiration for the team and the fans. New Jersey has struggled some lately losing six of nine although the Devils did pull out a 2-1 win over the Rangers on Thursday. Alex Stalock is likely in net for Chicago and he has a respectable 2.87 goals-against average and .913 save percentage despite a 9-12-1 record. The Devils have lost five straight playing with one day of rest and they are 20-43 against the Central Division. The home team has won six of the past eight meetings. Play the Blackhawks as a Max Play.
