The Chicago Blackhawks put an end to a four-game skid when they shut out the Jets in a 4-0 win at Winnipeg Friday night. I like their chances of riding that momentum to end a three-game losing streak against the Wild here Sunday.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Minnesota's Schedule - The Wild lost 7-4 at New Jersey Thursday and are coming off a hard-fought 3-2 shootout win against the Canes yesterday. They're 2-5 in their last seven games playing on no rest and also 2-5 in their last seven in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation.

2. Patrick Kane - The Chicago forward is leading the league with his 92 points on the season and he has three points through his last two games. He has scored 10 and assisted nine in his last 13 meetings with Minnesota.

3. X-Factor - The Wild may have picked up a 2-1 victory here at United Center back in December but they've left the building as losers in 16 of the last 21 visits.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Blackhawks (6*)
