Chicago Blackhawks

Chicago continues to suffer setback after setback and remains one of the league's biggest underdogs. That's unsurprising, as they have been one of the league's weakest teams for the past few years, and now they're without the veteran players. We occasionally see bursts of activity from the Hawks, but they can't boast good results over the distance. In their last four games, they lost 4:2 to Washington, 4:1 to Edmonton, 7:1 to Seattle, and 4:3 to Vancouver the night before, dropping them to last place in the Western Conference.

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado is a team with a completely different level of skill and ambition. The Avalanche were eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup last year, but that failure only made them angrier and stronger. In the current regular season, we see that they are not doing anything but are responsible for almost every confrontation, which allows them to stay in the leaders. In the last four games, they made only one mistake: losing to Winnipeg - 6:2 while beating Calgary - 6:5, Buffalo - 5:1, and San Jose - 6:2 the day before.
