Tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, the Chicago Blackhawks (39-15-14, 92 points) and Philadelphia Flyers (35-25-7, 77 points) hit the ice at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia for the second and final meeting of the season against each other. The game can be live streamed here. Chicago fans can hear all of the action on WGN 720 while Philadelphia fans can do the same on 97.5 The Fanatic.
Chicago has lost two out of its last three games while Philadelphia won two straight games over the weekend. The first time these two teams met, the Blackhawks defeated the Flyers 7-2 on Dec. 11 in Chicago.
Though the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last season, they return to the very rink they hoisted it to end a 49-year drought in 2010, a moment that members of the team that have hung around won't ever forget.
"It's kind of cool to be back and remember what happened," Patrick Kane told the Chicago Tribune. "I know it was a long time ago but it feels like it was just yesterday. Any time you're going to come back here you're going to have the memories of that night for sure."
Kane leads the Blackhawks with 68 points off of 29 goals and 39 assists while Patrick Sharp has 29 tallies and 36 helpers for 65 points and Jonathan Toews has found the twine 27 times and added 37 assists for 64 points.
The Flyers had a weekend sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins and while their schedule gets tough over the next week the team realizes it has to keep winning to get a better seed.
"We don't want to finish eighth or seventh," Flyers captain Claude Giroux told NHL.com "We want to finish higher. We want home-ice advantage. It's there for us to take but we have to keep playing like this."
Giroux leads the Flyers with 69 points off of 23 goals and 46 assists while Wayne Simmonds has 21 markers and 29 helpers for 50 points and Jakub Voracek has lit the lamp 18 times while adding 31 assists for 49 points.
Steve Mason will likely man the crease for Philadelphia, and is 28-16-6 with a 2.57 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage while Corey Crawford will likely suit up for Chicago and is 26-12-10 with a 2.26 GAA and a .918 save percentage.
It's a Stanley Cup 2010 rematch between the Blackhawks and Flyers when the lights come up at the Wells Fargo Center tonight in Philadelphia.
