Defensively, the team is one of the best in the league and the trade deadline acquisition of former Blackhawk defenseman Johnny Oduya has only helped the team on the blue line.
The Hawks rank 5th in the league in goals against, giving up just 2.51 goals per game.
Offensively, the team has been great which is no surprise considering the personnel. Patrick Kane is currently tied for the NHL lead in total points with 76. He has four goals and three assists in his last five games.
Left wing Artemi Panarin has been a crucial member of this Blackhawks team. He has 22 goals and 39 assists this season, including three goals and two assists over his last five games.
Ottawa Senators

The offense has been average at best. The team scores just 2.71 goals per game and doesn’t have a lot of skaters that can put the puck in the net.
