Heading into tonight's game the Blackhawks have a chance at being eliminated from playoff contention. If they lose in regulation against Nashville they will be eliminated, but if they lose in overtime or shootout the Winnipeg Jets need to get at least one point against the Bruins.
Nashville are heavy favourites to win in tonight's game right now coming in at a -270, but the Blackhawks have surprised a lot of teams this year, just recently beating the best team in the league the Boston Bruins 6-3 on Tuesday.
