Blackhawks aim to secure West's top seed versus Red Wings

Hockey Betting Lines

04/11/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A win today would give the Blackhawks the top seed in the Western Conference, but the Red Wings could have something to say about that. Detroit will try to play spoiler this afternoon and better its own playoff positioning when it visits Chicago and the United Center.

After making a run to the Western Conference finals a season ago, where they were ousted by the Red Wings in five games, the Blackhawks are currently second in the West with 111 points, two back of the Sharks. However, Chicago has one more victory than San Jose, which wrapped its regular season on Saturday with a win over Phoenix, meaning a victory in this game would give the Blackhawks the No. 1 seed and a first-round matchup with Colorado.

Chicago, which can not finish lower than the second spot, does come into this contest on a roll, having won six straight after Friday's 5-2 victory over the Avalanche.

Jonathan Toews had a goal and an assist, Colin Fraser scored twice and both Patrick Sharp and Kris Versteeg lit the lamp for the Blackhawks, who are 29-8-3 at home this season. Antti Niemi made 30 saves in the victory.

Toews and company know that just because the Blackhawks are a higher seed, anything can happen in the playoffs.

"There are not going to be any easy teams," said Toews. "Just look back last year when [top-seeded] San Jose got knocked off. We had a tough streak a few weeks ago and now I think we've got some things worked out."

Few teams want to meet the Red Wings in the playoffs, even if they aren't at their normal higher seed. Detroit, which had its run of eight straight Central Division titles ended this year by Chicago, shook off some early-season injuries to extend its playoff run to 19 straight seasons, a record among U.S. professional sports.

The Red Wings also extended their record run of 100-point seasons to 10 after Friday's 1-0 shootout victory at Columbus. Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi both notched shootout goals and Jimmy Howard made 22 saves for the third shutout of his career.

"We had a real good third period [and] had a lot of opportunities and didn't score, but in the end we got what we needed. I thought the team played well and everyone's doing good," said Red Wings coach Mike Babcock.

Detroit, which improved to 12-1-2 in its last 15 games, is currently fifth in the West, tied with idle Nashville with 100 points. The Red Wings would clinch the fifth spot with a win in this contest or if they can earn a point and sixth-place Los Angeles, which has 99 points, losses today to Colorado.

The Red Wings would finish sixth in the standings with an overtime loss and Kings win, or if both they and Los Angeles lose in regulation. Finally, Detroit would slip to seventh with a regulation loss and a Kings victory.

The Red Wings are 18-14-8 on the road this season, but have won six of their last eight as the guest.

Chicago has won three of five over Detroit this year, as well as five of the last seven in the series overall in the regular season. However, the Red Wings posted a 5-4 win when the clubs last met at the United Center on March 7 to snap a two-game skid in the Windy City.
