Chicago Blackhawks vs New York Islanders Prediction: The Blackhawks might not have enough energy

Chicago has been frankly terrible this season. However, the Blackhawks have a squad far from the worst and could qualify for the playoffs. However, the reality is that Anders Sorensen's underdogs are still bottom of the Western Conference standings with just 20 points from 29 games. Chicago's recent form has been extremely disappointing, with six defeats in seven games. On the eve of the back-to-back, Chicago lost to the Islanders 5:4.

The Islanders' results are finally up. They still have some personnel problems, but they are fewer and farther between, and at the same time, they have managed to replenish their piggy bank. The New Yorkers have won three of their last four games, with only one defeat, a 3:1 loss to Los Angeles, to show for it. However, Patrick Roy's men bounced back with a 5:4 win over Chicago. The Islanders currently sit tenth in the Eastern Conference standings, so plenty of work remains to be done.

It's the second day of a back-to-back for Chicago, who are already awful. The Blackhawks might not have enough energy. They're already playing awful hockey and losing systematically, and now they'll probably have to rotate a bit (considering Petr Mrazek is already injured). However, the Islanders have had plenty of time to prepare for this game, and they've been on a roll of late - three wins in their last four.
