The Blues come into Chicago riding a three-game win streak, but they’re still three points back of the Blackhawks and are 3-7-0 in their last 10. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are 4-3-1 on home ice and are 3-4-3 in their last 10. We’ll get a chance to reminisce about the good ol’ days with Brandon Saad and Nick Leddy wearing the wrong jerseys tonight as well. As a reminder, tonight’s game starts an hour earlier than most home contests and it’s nationally televised on TNT.

What to Watch For
- A strange stat I didn’t expect when doing some digging for tonight’s game: since he was traded to St. Louis before the 2018-19 season, Ryan O’Reilly has zero (0) points and is minus-two in seven games at the United Center. He has won 58.6 percent of his faceoffs, however.
- Over the same stretch of time, Jonathan Toews has four points in six games against the Blues but has won just 48.9 percent of his faceoffs.
- Since the start of their careers, Patrick Kane and Toews lead all Blackhawks skaters in point production against the Blues in Chicago. Kane has 37 points (14 goals, 23 assists) in 35 games and Toews has 23 points (8 goals, 15 assists) in 31 home games against St. Louis.
