Chicago at Atlanta

The Blackhawks have had a successful season both at home and on the road, it has been the defense and goal tending that has made the difference. They are of off a game where they allowed seven goals which is very revealing. They have had six other games where they allowed five goals or more on the season and those were followed by three, two, two, one, two and two goals allowed the next game. That is two goals per game. The season shows the Blackhawks have allowed two or fewer goals 28 times already. The Thrashers sure don't look like a threat to those numbers as they have managed but 12 goals in their last seven games, or just 1.7 per contest. The Thrashers have now played under to the tune of 20-8-2 in their last 30 home games vs a team with a winning road record. This one stays UNDER the total.
