The Canadiens were good. The Hawks were better. The Shake An Bake line has been very good all year and now that the Toews line (nickname pending) is playing great hockey, the Hawks look awfully tough to beat. I know it’s pretty obvious that Montreal misses Carey Price. The guy was the league MVP last year. But, yeah, the Habs miss Carey Price. Crawford had a nice game for the Hawks; neither goal Montreal scored was a bad one to give up.

My picks for 3 stars:

★★★ Max Pacioretty, LW, MTL (1 G)

★★ Marian Hossa, RW, CHI (1 G, 2 A)

★ Jonathan Toews, C, CHI (2 G (GWG))
