Chicago Blackhawks @ Phoenix Coyotes
9PM Eastern/8 Central/7 Mountain
CSN Chicago/WGN Radio


The key for the Hawks here is to guard against a letdown, after Tuesday night’s big win in San Jose. The Coyotes, unlike the Sharks, will be well-rested tonight, and are coming off two straight victories.

For some reason, well they’re a pretty good team, the Coyotes always seem to give the Hawks trouble.

Ray Emery gets the start for the Hawks, following up a brilliant performance on Saturday versus Calgary. If Emery can play remotely as well as he did in Alberta, the Hawks should have a good chance in this contest.
