Chicago at Anaheim

Chicago is on a 7-1 run, but hasn't been dominant on the road in the postseason. They won a pair in Minnesota the last series, but each by one goal. In the previous series they lost at Nashville twice, 6-2 and 5-2. This is an even bigger challenge against the No. 1 seeded Anaheim Ducks, who are on a 9-1 run. Few teams have a center corps that matches up physically against Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler. The Ducks' scoring depth is impressive as Jakob Silfverberg has 11 points, Patrick Maroon has seven, and Matt Beleskey has five goals. The Ducks are on a 45-21 run, including 64-30 at home. Anaheim has an edge in goal, too, with Frederik Andersen (8-1-1, 1.96) matched up against the Blackhawks' Corey Crawford (5-1, 2.60). Anaheim went 31-12-1 at home this season and is 6-1 playing on three or more days rest. And the Blackhawks are 8-21-2 in the last 31 meetings in Anaheim. Play Anaheim in Game 1.
