Chicago Blackhawks (42-18-15) at Pittsburgh Penguins (47-22-5) 7:30 PM Eastern/6:30 Central RDS2, NBCSN
THE BUZZ
The Blackhawks attempt to salvage a point or two from a fairly disastrous 3-game road trip (thus far) to the East. However, they try to do so against a very good hockey team in the Pittsburgh Penguins—a team that will no doubt want to exact some revenge for their fairly humiliating loss on national television in the Stadium Series game played at Soldier Field a few weeks back.
Neither team is playing well; both are to varying degrees banged up. Both are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games.
