Answer us this...why aren't the Blackhawks favored tonight at United Center? Numbers and performance suggest Chicago should as it continues to impress, having taken out the Maple Leafs on Saturday for their fourth win in five games. Defense and especially goaltending have been outstanding lately, as the Hawks have allowed just nine goals across those last five games. Arvid Soderblom gets his shot in goal tonight but he's been more than serviceable when in place of Spencer Knight, as his 2.63 GAA and .913 saves suggests. Meanwhile, the Flames (2-8-1 away) just don't win enough, which also goes for GK Dustin Wolf (5-10-2, 3.01 GAA, .896 saves). Play Blackhawks on Money Line
