Buffalo at Chicago

Chicago suddenly is hot and the Blackhawks have won nine of the last 10 meetings with Buffalo. The Blackhawks won their third in a row last night with a 7-2 victory over Nashville, forcing Pekka Rinne out of the game after he gave up four goals. Patrick Kane had a goal and an assist to back Robin Lehner, who had 39 saves. Chicago has scored 17 goals its last three games, and they are 6-0 their last six games versus Atlantic Division teams and 4-1 playing with no rest. Buffalo has lost six of its last seven, although the Sabres did manage to beat Ottawa, 4-2, Saturday night. Corey Crawford is expected back in net tonight for Chicago, and he comes off an impressive win over Vegas when he stopped 39 shots. Play the Blackhawks.
