T.M. Selection: Blackhawks (10* ULTIMATE SHOCKER).

Chicago and Florida have similar offensive and defensive numbers. This one means a lot more to the Hawks though, still battling for a spot and off back-to-back losses to the Lightning. They beat the Panthers 3-0 in late March in these team's most recent matchup vs. each other. After a 7-4 win over Nashville last time out, the Panthers have alternated wins and losses over their last five games. Expect this pattern to continue in this difficult road venu; the play is the Hawks!

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Chicago.
