Here we go as the Blackhawks slide into St. Louis, Missouri taking care of their end as the Blues know with home ice they just have to win games 5 and 7 at home. The Hawks know they have to get one in St. Louis and you do not want to play with a Game 7 at the Notes place of business.

The Hawks Patrick Sharp dba Sharpie #10 and Slovakia's Marian Hossa dba Boss Hoss have 1 point between them. They have to breakout here soon one would think and the Blues have to be mindful of keeping them out of the score books. Seabrook's 3-game suspension ends after Game 5 and the Hawks would love nothing better than to present him with a potential Game 6 Clincher at the Madhouse. Crawford has found his mojo in Net and that bodes well for the Hawks going into Game 5 tonight.

The Blues had the perfect opportunity as they let the game-tying goal late in the 3rd and the Hawks game-winner in Extras. Now the Hawks held serve the Blues juts have to hold serve as Russian Vladimir Tarasenko has been en fuego in the series. He has scored in three of the four games including scoring two in game 4 and had four points to lead the Notes. Captain and Center David Backes is still out and that is huge for the Blues as they have been playing well without him but you can't keep going to the well and keep getting god solid results. Miller has been solid
in net and the Blues have to be thinking about striking first to see how the Hawks respond.

The Hawks want to make this their last trip back in St. Louis and the Blues want to maintain home ice so something has to give in game 5.

Center Captain Serious leads the Indian Head with 5 pts...
Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk leads Notes with 5 pts....

Craw-Dad 2.21 GAA
Miller 2.24 GAA

Game Time 8pm ET on CNBC
