Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET, the Chicago Blackhawks (24-7-5, 53 points) and Nashville Predators (16-14-3, 35 points) take the ice at the Bridgestone Arena for the second of five meetings against each other this season. The game can be live streamed here. Chicago fans can hear all of the bone-crunching action on 720 WGN Radio while Nashville fans can do the same on 102.5 The Game.
Chicago enters play looking for some revenge against Nashville while the Predators have won three straight games. The Preds topped the Hawks in dominant fashion with a 7-2 victory on Nov. 16 in Nashville the first time these teams met this season.
The Blackhawks rebounded from that loss nicely but will still be looking for revenge. The team is coming off of a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
"It's nice to see that we can rebound from that," captain Jonathan Toews told NHL.com "It doesn't take us long to get back to our good habits."
Toews (13-19-32) is third on the team in scoring while Patrick Sharp (16-17-33) is second on the team and Patrick Kane (19-26-45) leads Chicago in scoring.
The Predators have scored 10 goals over their last three games during their winning streak and will finish a three-game homestand by hosting the Blackhawks tonight.
Nashville has been led on the score sheet this season by David Legwand (6-18-24), Patric Hornqvist (7-10-17), captain Shea Weber (7-9-16) and Craig Smith (6-10-16).
With Pekka Rinne (hip) sidelined, Carter Hutton is expected to start in net for Nashville and is 7-3-1 with a 2.76 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage. Chicago is still without backstop Corey Crawford (lower-body) and is likely to start Antti Raanta, who is 6-1-1 with a 2.41 GAA and a .915 save percentage.
The Blackhawks look for a measure of revenge while Nashville tries for its fourth straight win when the lights come up at Bridgestone Arena tonight in Nashville.
