Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the Chicago Blackhawks (44-22-6, 94 points) and Philadelphia Flyers (29-29-16, 74 points) face-off for the second and final time this season live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Chicago has won five of its last six games as it closes out a four-match road trip while Philadelphia has lost four consecutive contests and opens up a two-game home stand.
The Blackhawks currently hold down the third and final automatic playoff spot in the Central Division and are three points ahead of the Minnesota Wild (91 points) and four points behind the second place Nashville Predators (98).
The Flyers are 11 points behind the Ottawa Senators (85) and appear to be a long-shot for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
The first time these two teams met, Chicago blanked Philadelphia 4-0 on Oct. 21.

The Blackhawks are coming in off of a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday that saw Patrick Sharp notch a goal and an assist.
"I liked our start," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Monday per NHL.com. "And what we did to them in the first [period]."
With Patrick Kane (clavicle) out, Jonathan Toews has paced Chicago with 60 points off of 23 goals and 37 assists thus far this season while Marian Hossa has found the back of the net 21 times and added 33 helpers for 54 points.
Kimmo Timonen will play against Philadelphia for the first time since being dealt to Chicago on Feb. 27, ending his seven-year tenure with the team.
They Flyers enter play on the heels of a 5-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday that saw Jakub Voracek notch three assists in the loss.
"It's not a good situation we're in right now, but you still have to come here and enjoy it," coach Craig Berube said Tuesday, according to NJ.com. "You get an opportunity to come in there and coach, go on the ice and coach, and coach against the Blackhawks tomorrow."
Voracek is tied for second in the NHL in points (73) and ranks alone in second in the league in helpers (52) while Claude Giroux has 26 goals and is fifth in the league with 46 assists.
It remains to see who Philadelphia will dress between the pipes, but Chicago is likely to turn to red-hot netminder Corey Crawford. Crawford is 30-15-5 this season with a 2.19 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage.
It's a rematch of the 2010 Stanley Cup Final when the puck drops on the Blackhawks and Flyers live tonight from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
