Chicago sits second in the Central Division and fourth in the Western Conference, thanks in part to a defense that is among the best in the league, holding opponents to 2.5 goals per game.

A loss to San Jose on Nov. 16 stands as the Blackhawks' only home regulation loss this season. Since then, they have held a 33-9 scoring advantage in winning eight straight at the United Center and have allowed no more than three goals in any of those outings.

Keith, who was injured Wednesday night, is the anchor of the defense and the Blackhawks' leader in ice time.

Henrik Lundqvist is 4-1-0 with a 2.02 goals-against average in his last five starts for the Rangers. Bet on tonight's big game with Bodog's NHL betting.
