Chicago has loat two in a row by one goal each time, but don't be fooled, this is one of the best teams in the NHL. Chicago is 15th in goals scored, third in goals allowed, and in penalty killing. The Blackhawks are 65-24 in their last 89 home games. Ottawa played last night at home, a loss to New Jersey, and now has to head out on the road. The Senators are 5-11 playing on no days rest, 12-25 against the Western Conference. Ottawa is 19th in goals scored with weak specialty units, including 22nd in penalty killing. Both teams are finishing their first pair of back-to-back games, so having home ice is a big plus for Chicago, and the home team is 5-1 in the last six meetings. The Senators are 2-6 against the Blackhawks, including 0-5 in the last five meetings in Chicago. The value here is for a big win by the home team. Play Chicago on the Puck-Line.
