Philadelphia at Chicago

The Blackhawks return to Chicago in desperate need of a victory. They were in action Saturday, losing 6-4 at Ottawa, giving them a rest advantage here against a Flyers team that skated last night. Chicago went winless during its three-game Canadian road trip, and the Hawks have lost five in a row. Chicago has a winning home mark at 7-6-3. Philadelphia is playing well, winning 5-2 at home against the Canucks on Monday. However, the Flyers are 1-3 when playing without rest this season. This will be their seventh game in 11 days and their fifth road matchup in their last six games. Spencer Knight is likely to be in net for Chicago. He's the Blackhawks' best goalie. Samuel Ersson is projected to be in goal for Philadelphia. He hasn't been as good as Dan Vladar, who has a .910 save percentage and 2.39 goals against average. Ersson has a .896 save percentage and 2.80 goals against average. Take the Blackhawks to grab a win.
