The Blackhawks are struggling on the year and lot of that stems from the lack of offensive production. The Wild, though, are playing decent on the year offensively, but the defense has had some issues on the year because of what seems like nonstop pressure on the goalies. Look for the Blackhawks to have a better chance of winning the game as the Wild defensive struggles continue. Final Score, Chicago Blackhawk win 4-2.
