The Chicago Blackhawks faceoff against the first place Minnesota Wild at the United Center this morning.  

The last two games between these two Central Division rivals were excellent games.  One game had the offsides review that was so obvious that everyone except the referees that made the call thought it should be reversed.  The other game was a Nick Schmaltz welcome to the NHL moment that included Jonathan Toews 4th hat trick of his career.

Both teams have not been playing their best hockey in the past week, but their cushion between both teams and third place Nashville is so big that it’s really a two team race for first place in the Central.

The Hawks biggest struggles against the Wild have been slowing down Mikael Granlund who is having a career season, and the other real Hawks killer always seems to be Erik Haula.  The good thing is that Johnny Oduya and Niklas Hjalmarsson should be back in the lineup to shut down the Wild’s offense.

The Chicago Blackhawks do need to find their offense after what was a red hot offense before the 4 day off break last week.  The bottom 6 haven’t done much in the last two games after being very evident in the last two games, and the reason the offense was thriving was that all 4 Blackhawks lines were producing.
