The Blackhawks beat the Flyers in six games last June on way to winning the Stanley Cup. The Flyers lead the Eastern Conference and seem to be on a mission. Chicago didn't look so hot to start the year, but they have been playing much better of late. This is a big home game for them and I think they show up. Chicago is hot, having won by an average score of 4.2 to 1.4 in their last five games. Since last season, the Blackhawks are 54-27 when facing a winning team and 36-13 vs. starting goalies that save 92%+ of shots. Versus elite teams (those outscoring their opponents by 0.5+ goals per game), Chicago really steps it up to the tune of 23-9 over the past two seasons. I like the home team to get it done here.
