Tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET, the Minnesota Wild and Chicago Blackhawks hit the ice at the United Center in Chicago for Game 5 of their Round 2 best-of-seven series as part of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The game can be live streamed for free here. Minnesota fans can hear all of the action on WCCO 830 while Chiago fans can do the same on WGN 720.
Minnesota looks to win its third straight game and first on the road in this series while Chicago hopes to bounce back from a two-game losing streak and win their third straight home game to take a 3-2 series lead.
The Wild won Games 3 and 4 at home while the Blackhawks won Games 1 and 2 on their home ice.
Minnesota looks to continue to play great defense as it has the past two games.
"We're always making them come through five guys," forward Zach Parise said per NHL.com. "That gets frustrating. We're working hard. We're making it tough. We're just playing a good defensive game and that is in turn letting us have the puck more and play more offense."
Parise has paced the Wild on offense this postseason by going 4-10--14 while Jason Pominville (2-7--9) has also played a huge role.
After two straight losses on the road, the Blackhawks are excited to come home.
"It's exciting to be back at home and playing in front of our crowd and let's take advantage of some home cooking here," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said via NHL.com. "We should be excited about playing the right way."
Marian Hossa (2-8--10), Brent Seabrook (2-8--10) and Jonathan Toews (4-5--9) have been leaders for the Blackhawks this series.
In net, Chicago turns to Corey Crawford while Minnesota will likely counter with Ilya Bryzgalov.
The Wild and Blackhawks clash tonight in Game 5 of their best-of-seven series.
