The Chicago Blackhawks will be in Detroit tonight, and both these teams are sitting on 19 points so far this season. The Blackhawks have won eight of the last nine regular season meetings in this series, and I like their chances of extending that run tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - Jimmy Howard is 0-3-4 with a 2.57 GAA in his last eight starts versus Detroit.

2. Shots On Goal - The Blackhawks throw a lot of rubber at opposing netminders, averaging 38 shots on goal per game.

3. X-Factor - Chicago boasts the NHL's top penalty killing unit, with a 91.7 % kill rate.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Red Wings (5*)
