Chicago at Boston

This is the second of a back-to-back road spot for Chicago, after a 5-2 win at Detroit last night. They won't want to get into an up-tempo game and the UNDER is 18-5-3 when the Blackhawks are working on no days rest. Chicago is seventh in the NHL in goals allowed and 35-12-14 UNDER against the Eastern Conference. They've allowed two goals in each of their two games this week, beating Washington 3-2. They face a Boston team with a strong goalie, off a 2-1 win over Calgary. Goalie Tuukka Rask has a 1.75 GAA while winning three of his last four. Boston will be shorthanded for the next four after forward Zac Rinaldo sat out Tuesday for the first of a five-game suspension he received for an illegal hit on Lightning forward Cedric Paquette. This shapes up as a strong defensive battle between two teams fighting for playoff positioning. Play Chicago/Boston UNDER the total.
