Chicago at Winnipeg

Chicago has three days off with a powerhouse defense, second in the NHL in goals allowed, sixth in penalty killing. Corey Crawford shut out the opposition and captain Jonathan Toews scored the game's lone tally in back-to-back 1-0 triumphs the last two games. Crawford made 39 saves to beat the Anaheim Ducks 1-0 on Monday night in a rematch of last season's Western Conference Finals. The Blackhawks are 43-20 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Winnipeg is home but not strong on defense at #18 in goals allowed. The defense let them down the last game, blowing a 1-0 lead Tuesday at home against Los Angeles, losing a 4-1. Winnipeg is 1-5 when playing on one day of rest, as well as a poor 2-5 run at home. And when these teams meet the Blackhawks are 7-0 at Winnipeg. Take the Blackhawks.
