My Predictions: Blackhawks 4 (Vorobiev 2, Ruutu) - Blues 3 (Cajanek, Weight, Mayers) Vorobiev scores on SO.

This is one of those games you just can't afford to give points away with. The Blues are probably the worst team in the entire league right now and still won't have Tkachuk or Jackman back for this game IIRC.

Even with Hawk injuries you simply can't lose to teams like that.

I expect they won't. :)

I predict Seabrook gets 6pts tonight

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch beat writer and Andy Strickland, now of 1380ESPN, Jackman is playing tonight.

Khabi: 8 shots, 5 saves.

Ouch

While the results weren't there I was extremly impressed with Seabrook tonight. Man that guy always has the puck. He's gonna be a stud. Vorobiev was also impressive ---very quick release. I was hoping to see alot of Ruutu, but he seemed very uninspired. Anyways the Hawks are going to be tough if they can get Yakubov, Babchuk, and Cam Barker to develop like Ruutu, Arnason, Seabrook, and Vorobiev. BTW I don't think the Blues are the worst team, but hopefully they are close enough at the end of the year to win the lottery and get Kessel.
