Blackhawks-Red Wings: Chicago Looks To Take Round Two From Detroit

Game Preview Ding! Ding! Let round two of the 2008-2009 regular season series between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks begin. The Blackhawks will be visiting Joe Louis Arena for this second round bout with their Original Six rival Red Wings.  The 'Hawks are coming off a big 4-2 win versus the Anaheim Ducks in which Jonathan Toews scored the game winning goal with two minutes left to go in the game. Tonight however the 'Hawks will face an opponent that is within their division and has been playing quite well. The Red Wings are heading into the game on a two game winning streak and look to take the their second straight versus the 'Hawks this season. The last game between the 'Hawks and Red Wings saw the game go to the shootout where Marian Hossa launched a slap shot past Nikolai Khabibulin. Tonight, hopefully we can get an equally entertaining game but with a different outcome for the 'Hawks. See my keys to the game for a more in depth analysis on what the 'Hawks need to do ... (link)
