Despite a six-game slide Boston is No. 4 in the Atlantic division and 10th in the NHL in goals allowed. They have their best goalie back in as the starter, Tukka Rask, after trying a rookie the last game to give Rask a breather. This team lost only one game in January and is relatively healthy, so they are not far from turning things around. They are a big dog to a Chicago team that has dropped 12 of 22 games since January 1 and matched its worst defeat of the stretch Friday with a 4-1 loss to Colorado as -230 favorite. The previous game they were -175 favorite and lost at home to Detroit, 3-2. The Blackhawks are 2-6 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game, too. Play Boston.
