Chicago is at home and hungry for a win to tie the series up. St. Louis is up 2-1, but is not a strong offensive team at #15 in goals scored content to focus on defense. Chicago has been here many times before and has a loaded offense behind Patrick Kane (46 goals), captain Jonathan Toews, Andrew Ladd and Marian Hossa. They lost Game 3, 3-2, but Corey Crawford was sharp again with 33 saves. Chicago is sixth in the NHL in goals scored, #10 in goals allowed and second on the power play. The Blackhawks own a sizzling 43-14 mark in Games 4-7 of a postseason series under outstanding coach Joel Quenneville, who is not afraid to make adjustments and change lines during a series. Chicago is also 15-6 in its last 21 games when playing at home against St. Louis. Take the Blackhawks.
