*10* SURE SHOT on Chicago Blackhawks.

The Chicago Blackhawks will entertain the St. Louis Blues home at United Center Sunday night. The hosts have followed 12 consecutive wins with back-to-back losses at Tampa Bay and Florida, but I like their chances of rebounding with a win against their Central Division-rival.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Blackhawks will be excited to be back home in Chicago after playing five of their last six on the road. It's a brief stop though as they'll head out on a four-game trek after this contest, so they're likely to make the most of it tonight. Their 20-5-1 home record is the best mark in the NHL this season, and they've won 22 of the last 30 when hosting St. Louis.

2. Corey Crawford - The Chicago netminder sat out Friday's 4-0 loss at Florida but figures to be back between the pipes tonight. He's 8-1-0 with a 1.55 GAA this month and has posted a 1.66 GAA over 23 starts home in Chicago this season.

3. X-Factor - St. Louis hasn't scored a power-play goal in five straight contests and is 2-for-25 with a man advantage in the last eight.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Blackhawks (10*)
