While The Hawks are seemingly in better form, Anaheim’s the better team and are 4-0 this year playing on no rest. Moreover, The Ducks have a few possible players returning(including Gibson).
Fair to note, Chicago’s looking impressive but as they’ve proved time again, they struggle to string together a long winning streak. Also, The Hawks are on a 4 game winning streak against The Ducks.
