Chicago is battling for playoff positioning and catches a break against the worst team in the NHL. Columbus is awful, No. 28 in the league in goals scored and No. 29 defensively. The Blue Jackets are off a rare win, but are 5-21 in their last 26 games following a win. And they are 11-27 in their last 38 home games. Chicago has a strong offense, No. 5 in the league in goals scored, and comes off an impressive win over the powerhouse Rangers, 4-2, which ended a skid. Now they get to keep the win streak going. The Blackhawks are 5-0 in the last five meetings, as well as 4-0 in the last four meetings in Columbus. Play Chicago.
