The Blackhawks are getting in gear beating the Rangers, 5-2, on Wednesday. Chicago limited the Rangers to 25 shots and have gotten better play in goal after promoting Jeff Glass. He has a .917 save percentage in his first three NHL starts.

Chicago catches Las Vegas in a tough spot. It's a huge understatement to say the Golden Knights have exceeded expectations. They have been the greatest first-year success story so far, but this is a terrible spot for them. Las Vegas just played the Blues tough on the road last night losing 2-1. This not only marks their second game in two days but sixth game in 10 days.

The loss to the Blues also snapped an eight-game Las Vegas win streak. Often times a team will be flat when playing without rest after having a long win streak ended. The Golden Knights could have backup goalie Malcolm Subban in net, too, after starter Marc Andre-Fleury played last night.

The Blackhawks are a solid 10-5-2 at home this season while outscoring the opposition by more than one goal per game.
