Colorado hasn’t done too bad for themselves, winning 5 of their last 7, including an impressive 4-1 win over St. Louis last time out.
Colorado
Semyon Varlamov has ignited the Avs to some impressive play as they continue their surge back toward the .500 mark.
Varlamov has turned away 160 of the 167 shots faced in his last 5 outings. The goalie had a season high 42 saves in the Avs win over the Blues 4-1 on Sunday. The win marked the 5th win for the Avalanche in 7 tries.

Varlamov has also had some solid career success against the Blackhawks. He brings a record of 10-3-0 with a GAA of 1.93 and has a 7 game winning streak against them.
Surprisingly for this Avs team, they’ve played much better away from home. Colorado has a 10-9 record away from home and has allowed just 2.47 GAA through those 19 road games.
Chicago
The Blackhawks are really taking the NHL by storm right now.
Behind Corey Crawford and Patrick Kane, the Hawks continue to build W’s.
