Bring on the Ducks

HAWKS v. DUCKS: showdown in Anaheim

source: blackhawkup.com

Tonight the Blackhawks will take on the first place rival Anaheim Ducks. With only two games left before the two week olympic break, the Hawks need to hit the ice with a chip on their shoulder. After defeating the Ducks at home in the last matchup, the Hawks will be looking to gain two more points on the league leaders. While the Ducks have been struggling for victory in the past 9 games, the Hawks will be heading into Anaheim with momentum from the 5-3 win over the Kings. The Ducks currently have 3 points on the Hawks in the league standings, but overcoming some mid-season losses, the boys in red are ready to re-claim their number one spot. Puck drop is set to be at 9 P.M. and will certainly be an entertaining match-up. With Patrick Kane coming off a big game against the Kings, he is one to keep on eye on, along with goaltender Corey Crawford who has been struggling to find victory in the paint. On the other side, the Ducks will hope captain Ryan Getzlaf and stellar goaltender Jonas Hiller are ready to bring down a motivated team.
