Two red hot teams will clash at the Madison Square Garden tonight as the New York Rangers are hosting the Chicago Blachawks. The hosts have won six of their last seven, and the visitors have won five of their last six. With both teams firing on all cylinders I expect to see a positive high-scoring game of hockey in New York tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Chicago's Goaltending - We could see Scott Darling in net for the visitors as Corey Crawford tended the net against the Islanders last night. Darling allowed four goals on 29 shots at Tampa Bay his last time out, and is posting a 2.61 GAA over six road starts for the season.

2. Home Cookin' - The Rangers have tallied only 10 goals over their five game winning streak, but keep in mind that all but one of those games were on the road. They've scored four goals in four of their last six at MSG, averaging 3.00 goals per game on the season. The Blackhawks are no strangers to finding the net either, averaging 2.79 goals per game on the road and they put six past Antti Niemi and the Sharks at San Jose their last game away from home.

3. X-Factor - The Blackhawks Jonathan Toews was on fire last night, notching both two goals and two assists in the 4-1 win against the Islanders.


Selection: This is a play on CHI@NYR to go over the total (10*)
