Seven different teams have won the Stanley Cup in the nine years
since the 2004-2005 NHL lockout. We’ll see two of those teams in action
Wednesday night (8:00 PM ET, NBCSN) when the Chicago Blackhawks visit
the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Blackhawks won in 2010 and 2013 to end
nearly 50 years of frustration, and the Penguins claimed the Cup in
2009.

Chicago (28-15-1-1 going into Tuesday’s action) happens to be this
year’s Stanley Cup favourite at 11/2 in the NHL futures market. But
despite owning one of the league’s best goal differentials at plus-0.67,
the Hawks are in minus territory on the puck line at 16-29 ATS, causing
5.84 units in losses. Pittsburgh (26-12-3-3) is 10/1 to win the Cup and
3.14 units in the black at 19-25 ATS, with a goal differential of
plus-0.55.
Neither of these two clubs is particularly hot right now. Chicago has
dropped five of its last eight games, and Pittsburgh is 4-7 since left
wing Blake Comeau (11 goals, nine assists) was put on injured reserve
with a sprained wrist, followed quickly by right wing Patric Hornqvist
(13 goals, 16 assists) and his ankle/foot. Meanwhile, defenseman Olli
Maatta (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2014-2015
season.
