Both teams have hit hard times and Pittsburgh will look to Arturs Silovs, who is 5-5-6, to help the Penguins get their second win in three games. They have been off since Tuesday while Chicago is playing a back-to-back after winning 4-3 in a shootout over Dallas last night. Arvid Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots for the Blackhawks, who are expected to start Spencer Knight tonight. Knight has lost his past four starts while getting little support from his skaters. Chicago has averaged 1.8 goals in 10 games. Chicago is #26 in goals per game and #31 in shots per game. The Blackhawks are 13-51 their past 64 games following a win. Take the Penguins.
