The set-up: The 16-6-3 Chicago Blackhawks come in on a 3-0-1 run while the 12-10-3 Philadelphia Flyers have won three in a row. Both teams are coming off overtime wins on Thursday night, the Blackhawks getting a game-winner from Marian Hossa against the New Jersey Devils and the Flyers getting an overtime winner from Claude Giroux in a two-goal performance.

Chicago: Jonathan Toews did not make the trip to Philadelphia and will miss his fifth straight game for the Blackhawks. Chicago has opted to take a cautious approach with the ailing back of the team's captain. "At this point, with the amount of games left in the season, it's not something (you want) to continuously deal with, if you're going to aggravate it and it's going to keep coming back to haunt you," Toews told the Chicago Sun-Times of the injury he sustained on Nov. 23 in San Jose. "So it's tough right now to pull back and do less than you know you can, but in the long run, you're trying to make sure you get back to 100 percent." Chicago goaltender Corey Crawford (12-6-2) is expected to make his 21st start of the season (12-6-2 with a 2.27 GAA and .927 save percentage).

Philadelphia: The Flyers matched a season high with their third straight victory on Thursday and maybe the sight of the Blackhawks will continue their good fortune. After all, excluding the 2010 playoffs, when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in Philadelphia in Game 6, the Flyers have lost at home just once to Chicago since the Wells Fargo Center opened in 1996. The Flyers have won 12 straight regular-season games against the Blackhawks at home. Steve Mason (7-8-3, 2.91 GGA and .899 save percentage) is expected to get his 17th start for Philadelphia.

The pick: Chicago's Thursday win extended its home winning streak to 12 games (10-0-2) but the Blackhawks haven't come close to playing that well on the road, where after losing three of their last four, are 6-5-1 for the season. Expect a high scoring game and make the Over a 10* play.
