Scouting the Blues
A strong power play that went 2-for-3 in Game 3 will be tested after the Blackhawks let the game slip after too many bad penalties. The last two contests were decided by a 3-2 score, with goaltending as the X factor in this series. Brian Elliott has stopped 109 of 113 shots in this series, and 44 alone in Game 3. Elliott will have to be on his game again in Game 4 as the Blackhawks will most likely throw everything plus the kitchen sink at him in order to even the series.
Scouting the Blackhawks
After a game-changing double minor by Patrick Kane that helped the Blues to a win, the Blackhawks will have to be more aware of their sticks and surroundings in Game 4. Corey Crawford has been more than up to the task of stealing a game in this series, and will have to be the backbone of the team for Chicago to even the series. Big names like Jonathan Toews and Andrew Ladd, who have yet to score goals in the series, are primed for breakout games in such a pivotal match.
