Minnesota has its back to the wall, down 0-2 to Chicago, but they are home and have an ace in net in Devan Dubnyk. Minnesota is on a 30-14 run and 35-17 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Chicago hasn't done as well in Minnesota, dropping five of the last seven including a 3-0 loss in the most recent meeting here February 3rd. The Blackhawks are 1-4 in their last five road games. Chicago also lost two of three contests at Nashville during its first-round series. When these rivals meet the home team is 20-7 and the Blackhawks are just 2-5 in this arena, so grab the desperate and talented home ice. Take Minnesota.
