Chicago at Calgary

Chicago's recent slump has coincided with a difficult schedule. The defending champs are still loaded with talent behind NHL points leader Patrick Kane (92), two-time Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith, and 25-goal scorers Artemi Panarin and Jonathan Toews. Chicago is eighth in the NHL in goals scored, fifth on the power play and ninth in goals allowed. The Blackhawks are 35-17 against a team with a losing record. They get to face an awful Calgary defense, with a league-high 234 goals allowed, which continued in Thursday's 6-2 loss in Minnesota. The Flames are on a 6-15 run and Chicago is 23-10 against them. The Blackhawks are also 7-0-4 over the past four seasons against Calgary and hold all the cards. Back Chicago.
