Best bet: Capitals-Blackhawks

Here’s a cross-conference match worth watching. The Capitals, as has become quite the norm, are hanging around the top of the division once again. They also have a great away record to start the season. Meanwhile, though the Blackhawks had a slower start than usual, they’ve started rounding back into form, and the Madhouse on Madison is usually good for a big boost.

However, peek at the Kings-Senators, again to see how the Senators are doing, or stay up for Stars-Oilers to complete a Friday night in hockey.
