The Blackhawks are in a tough spot on Friday night as they send Collin Dellia out in net making just his 3rd NHL start. Chicago is also playing their second game in as many nights.
The Colorado Avalanche look to take advantage of Chicago’s misfortunes and to get their 2nd straight win. The Avalanche are 4th in the Western Conference and have a sizable edge on their home ice.
Chicago Blackhawks
Believe it or not Chicago has won two in a row and have climbed out of the Western Conference cellar. Last night’s win in Dallas came as +166 ‘dogs. Patrick Kane notched two goals in the victory and Alex Debrincat added a score and two assists.

The Blackhawks turn to their young goaltender as Corey Crawford’s career may be in jeopardy after suffering another concussion. Collin Delia made two starts late last season, going 1-1. Ironically one of those appearances came versus the Avalanche when he allowed 5 goals on 36 shots.
Colorado Avalanche
The Avalanche look to get their offense back on track on Friday. They have been held to 2 goals or less in 3 of the last 6 and are just 2-4 over that span. Scoring is usually a strength for Colorado as they rank 5th in the NHL in goals/game and 3rd in the power play.

In net for Colorado tonight is Philipp Grubauer. He is 5-1-1 in his last 7 decisions and has allowed 2 goals or less in four of those games. Tonight’s O/U is 6 but that could fall on the low side with the Avalanche defense vs. the Chicago offense.
