The Blackhawks will continue their quest to defend their Stanley Cup win a year ago at Toronto. The Maple Leafs have won their last two both 1 goal and tight decisions with one decided in an extra session. The Blackhawks went through a lackluster 10-11 stretch, but they are making their stretch drive now, having won their last seven and outscoring their opponent 30-16. Chicago has flourished where most have struggled as they are now 36-16 in their last 52 with no rest and when playing their fourth game in six nights they are 23-11. The Maple Leafs are on the opposite end as they are just 16-36 playing for the third night in four. I'll go with Chicago here.
