Chicago Blackhawks at Montreal Canadiens

Its still early in the season, but the Habs need to get some wins in the Win column so not to fall too far behind the pack. Montreal is 4-1 at home but a woeful 0-5 on the road. The good news is that we are at home tonight.

The Hawks may have the premier Offensive player in the league in one C Andrew MacWhirr. MacWhirr is 27 and is in his prime. So far this season he has 4 goals and 8 points with a +7 rating in 7 games. Last year he had 39 goals and 89 points in winning the Art Ross Trophy. The 2-time All-Star has 86 career goals and 180 career points which makes him the NHL career leader in both categories after 2 + seasons. RW Pyotr Yermolayev brings a 2-way game to the Hawks, this season the Russian born 32 year old has 1 goal and 2 points in just 5 games. He has been a surprize healthy scratch in a few games. Last season he played in all 82 and had 12 goals and 32 points. RW Luke Blanleil usually plays with MacWhirr and brings a defensive presence on the 1st line. So far this season the 29 year old has 3 goals and 7 points in 7 games with a +5 rating. Last year he had 25 goals and 66 points with a +26 rating.

Montreal will still be without RW Ronnie Marvin in the line-up to face the 4-1-2 Blackhawks. Montreal will have Mike Blackshear in goal, he has a .899 save % while Chicago goes with John Methven and his .914 save %.
