Chicago rolls into this matchup looking to extend their three game winning streak and they have outscored their opponents by a total of 14-3 during that span. The Blackhawks are 3-2-1 at home this year, while the Devils are 4-4-0 on the road. New Jersey is 2-0-1 in their last three games and they have also been very solid defensively. Chicago is playing at a high level right now, but I really like both of these defenses, so I will take the under here.
