  • Deadline day is one of the most hyped days on the NHL calendar but with most of the big targets already finding new homes, today will more than likely be pretty quiet, on and off the ice, with just two scheduled games. The best of those matchups will feature two Stanley Cup contenders in Pittsburgh and Chicago, with the Penguins coming off a 3-2 loss to the Stars last night.

    SHARK BITES
    • The Penguins are 0-4 SU in their last 4 games on the road against the Blackhawks.
    • The total has gone OVER in 9 of the Blackhawks' last 10 games.
    • The Penguins are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games on the road against teams with winning records.

    That loss to Dallas was actually the Penguins’ first this season – and first in well over a year – after taking a lead into the third period. Not a great way to enter the second half of a back-to-back against one of the best teams in the league and the 39-18-5 Blackhawks, who are 7-2-1 against the Pens in their last 10 matchups, are lying in wait and ready to pounce on the vulnerable flightless birds of Pittsburgh.

    On yet another winning streak, the ’Hawks will go for their fifth straight tonight looking to keep up their insane goal-scoring record that’s seen them average five goals a game over their last four. Newest addition Johnny Oduya will look to make an immediate impact on the third-line pairing with Michal Kempny, giving the ’Hawks some defensive depth that was desperately needed.
