Chicago Blackhawks vs. Colorado Avalanche preview

The struggling Blackhawks welcome the playoff-bound Avalanche to the United Center Wednesday night in what looks like a serious mismatch on paper.

Colorado's high-powered offense, led by Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas who've combined for a whopping 40 goals and 95 assists, should feast against a Chicago defense that's completely fallen apart lately, surrendering 15 goals in their last three contests.

The Blackhawks, sitting near the Western Conference basement with just one win in their last ten games, will lean heavily on rookie sensation Connor Bedard and Ryan Donato to generate some offensive spark.

Don't sleep on Colorado's blue line though - Cale Makar and Devon Toews have been monsters at both ends, contributing 36 goals and 88 assists while anchoring a defense allowing just 2.77 goals per game.

MacKenzie Blackwood has been stellar between the pipes for the Avs with a .919 save percentage, in stark contrast to Chicago's goaltending woes.

I'm expecting fireworks in this one despite the mismatch - Colorado's averaging over 3.3 goals per game while Chicago's defense has been absolutely porous.

The Blackhawks might make things interesting early with Bedard creating a highlight-worthy moment or two, but Colorado's depth and defensive structure should eventually wear down the home team.

For Chicago fans enduring this rebuild, watching Bedard's development remains the silver lining in what's been a brutally tough season.
