Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET, the Chicago Blackhawks (28-7-8, 64 points) and New Jersey Devils (17-16-8, 42 points) faceoff live from the Prudential Center in New Jersey for the second and final meeting against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. Chicago fans can hear all of the action on 720 WGN while New Jersey fans can do the same on 101.9 WFAN.
Chicago enters play with a 10-1-3 record against the Eastern Conference this season while New Jersey is 2-0-1 since losing to the Blackhawks in their previous meeting 5-2 in Chicago on Dec. 23.
The Blackhawks are coming off of a 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday.
"We're never going to be satisfied with one point," captain Jonathan Toews told CSN Chicago. "If we get that far, we know we're very close to being able to get the second point. All in all, I don't think it was a complete effort tonight. We were a little bit sloppy in our own zone, and we have to do better tomorrow night."
Toews is third on the team with 41 points off of 15 goals and 26 assists while Patrick Sharp has eight points in his last five games and is second with 42 points off of 22 tallies and 20 helpers and Patrick Kane leads the way with 53 points off of 23 markers and 30 assists.
The Devils enter play looking for some revenge on the Hawks after that previous loss.
"I think everybody in our group walked out of that rink embarrassed at the result, embarrassed at how we played," coach Peter DeBoer told the Devils website Thursday. "That's what a good team like that does to you if you don't show up and are ready to play."
Jaromir Jagr paces the Devils with 34 points off of 13 goals and 21 assists while Patrik Elias has found the back of the net seven times and added 18 assists for 25 points and Michael Ryder (12 goals, eight assists) and Andy Greene (six goals, 14 assists) each have 20 points.
Corey Crawford may get his second start since returning from injury and is 17-6-4 with a 2.49 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage while Martin Brodeur will likely start for the Devils and is 12-8-3 with a 2.25 GAA and a .907 save percentage thus far.
The Blackhawks look to continue their dominance over the Eastern Conference while the Devils try and gain some revenge from the last time these teams met when the puck drops tonight at Prudential Center in New Jersey.
