This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Chicago Blackhawks.

Chicago has won two straight and continues to ride Patrick Kane's 26 game points streak, most recently they'd hammer the Canucks 4-0 on Sunday. Colorado comes in off two straight road wins and suffice it to say, there is no question in our minds that this does indeed set up as a classic letdown spot for the visitors as they will head back home after this one, in what is already considered a successful road trip for them, most recently a 3-1 victory at St. Louis on Sunday. Both teams' goaltenders have been hot of late, so we'll call that department a "wash," however take note that Colorado is a poor 1-6 (-5.4 units) this season after a victory by two goals or more, while Chicago is 6-4 (+1.4 units) this year after a victory by two goals or more. Lay the price with confidence on the BLACKHAWKs.
