The 13-11-6 Chicago Blackhawks are coming off a 3-0 shutout of the New York Rangers and will have bravado on their side tonight when they visit a really bad St. Louis Blues team. The 11-14 -7 Blues have lost two straight, are just 5-7-4 at Enterprise Arena, 30th in the league in scoring, and 31st in goals allowed. The upstart Blackhawks won easily against the Blues in their last meeting in October, 8-3, and should come out on top in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

The top two seeds in the Metropolitan Division will square off tonight when the Washington Capitals host the Carolina Hurricanes. The Caps have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 8, and are 4-0 in their last 4 at Capital One Arena. These two teams match up well but Washington has a slight edge in goals scored and goals allowed. The Caps are also expected to have Logan Thompson between the pipes and he has been outstanding. Thompson is 13-6-2 with a GAA of only 1.96. The Caps beat the Canes in Carolina 4-1 back on November 11th so why not again tonight on their home turf?
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS

Two Original 6 teams will square off tonight when the New York Rangers head to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Blackhawks. New York becomes a different team when they take it on the arches.
