New York at Chicago

Chicago has an excellent opportunity to cool off the New York Rangers who have won six in a row. The Blackhawks have exploded for nine goals over their last two games after scoring just 19 in their previous 10 games. Goalie Corey Crawford is anxious to bounce back from a poor performance against New Jersey on Sunday when he stopped 19-of-25 shots and the Blackhawks blew a 4-1 lead. Crawford still has a.932 save percentage and 2.21 goals-against average, including two shutouts in 14 games. The Rangers come off a 4-2 win over Edmonton on Saturday as Rick Nash scored twice and Mats Zuccarello recorded two assists. New York is just 2-6 its last eight road games and 0-5 when playing with at least three days of rest. Chicago is 12-4 its last 16 after scoring at least five goals its previous game dating to last season. Take the Blackhawks.
