It should be a battle tonight at the United Center when the 10-3-0-1 Chicago Blackhawks play host to the 8-3-0-1 Washington Capitals. The Blackhawks have been red hot winning their last 7 games but could be without one of their top producers, Artem Anisimov, who suffered an upper body injury in Wednesday’s win over St. Louis. Washington has been hot as well, winning 4 out of their last 5 and they are tough on the road, going 4-1-0-1 in their last 5 road games. In the last 5 meetings between these clubs, Washington has taken 4 of them. Braden Holtby is expected between the pipes for the Capitals and has been stingy in his last 5 games, giving up just 10 goals and is 4-2-0 in his career against the Blackhawks. Chicago’s streak could end tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
