Chicago goalie Collin Delia has started three games and won all three with a 1.66 goals-against average and .957 save percentage. He had 32 saves in the Blackhawks' 3-2 overtime win at Colorado on Saturday and didn't play in their 4-2 loss to Boston in the Winter Classic on Tuesday. Chicago has turned things around under new coach Jeremy Colliton and it has won five of its last seven games. Delia is expected to start tonight against the Islanders, who have won four in a row, but they are just 2-7 their last seven games against Central Division teams. The Blackhawks probably won't make the playoffs, but they are gaining some team chemistry with the new regime and rookie goalie. There is huge value in the road underdog, so play the Blackhawks.
