David Backes, T.J. Oshie and Alex Steen have lit up opponents lately, but Chicago will try to shut them down on Sunday. Later, the Canadiens and Bruins renew their heated rivalry in Boston.
In a rare NHL scheduling quirk, a slew of mid-afternoon and early evening hockey games are bookended by huge rivalry matchups on Sunday.
Kicking it off at lunchtime, the Chicago Blackhawks visit the St. Louis Blues in a game between two Central Division heavyweights. St. Louis has been on quite a tear recently, winning virtually all of their games over the last two weeks. But if there's one team that knows how to slow the Blues down, it's the Blackhawks.
The evening will conclude with perhaps the most heated rivalry in the NHL, as the Montreal Canadiens settle in for a bruiser against the Boston Bruins. Both clubs will be a little weary, having played on Saturday night. But the Canadiens will be slightly more rested after cruising to a 6-2 rout against the Devils.
