Blackhawks Need to Figure Out Their Defense

The Blackhawks need to figure out their defense soon or this season is going to get worse than it already is. On Wednesday the Blackhawks faced off against the Columbus Blue Jackets and they gave up seven goals on the way to the defeat. Jason Dickinson scored a goal and had two shots on goal. The Blackhawks are averaging only 2.53 goals while thier defense is giving up 3.71 goals per game. It’s going to be another torque battle but it’s going to need to be the defense that steps up.

Maple Leafs Look for Fifth Straight Win

The Maple Leafs have won four games in a row and the offense has been very good. In four of the games they have scored at least four goals. Last Sunday it took overtime, but they secured the 4-3 victory against the Minnesota Wild. The Maple Leafs on the season are averaging 3.53 goals while their defense is giving up 3.41 goals per game.

Shane’s Free Pick

It’s a very good offense in Toronto against a defense that isn’t very good in Chicago. Look for the Maple Leafs to have no issue running up the score. It’s going to be poor goaltending again and the Maple Leafs are going to score at least four goals off of them. The Blackhawks are going to drop another road game here, and the Maple Leafs will go home happy. Back the Maple Leafs.
