Montreal Canadiens At Chicago Blackhawks 7PM Eastern/6 Central RSN/RDS/WGN/SportsNet
THE BUZZ
Reports from practice this morning have D Erik Gustafsson returning from a minor injury tonight. The Blackhawks have a 10-game winning streak on the line, while the Canadiens are hoping to get better results for their effort than they did when facing Chicago the other night in Montreal. A possible additional carryover form that game could be some jousting between the Hawks' lower line forwards and Habs blue liner Alexei Emelin. Emelin will throw big, clean checks and the Hawks need to keep their heads on a swivel. Ben Scrivens, a goalie who can get hot, gets the net for the Canadiens tonight.
