Arizona is home but ranks #28 in the NHL in goals allowed and on the power play, on a 3-8 run overall. The Coyotes are 13-38 against a team with a winning record and the defending champs are in town. Chicago has star power and balance at #16 in the league in goals scored, #5 on the power play and #10 in goals allowed. They are talented and hungry for a win to end a two-game slide. Coach Joel Quenneville held a longer-than-usual practice Monday and had Andrew Shaw on the top line in place of Teuvo Teravainen, who lasted roughly a week with Jon Toews and Marian Hossa and is now back on the third line. The Blackhawks are 19-7 vs. the Pacific division and the road team is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings. Chicago has also won six of the last seven meetings in Arizona, including the playoffs. Play Chicago.
