FORWARDERS
Max DomiCHI (vs ANA) – Domi will try to get at least one point in a seventh straight game, a sequence during which he impressed with 12 points (four goals, eight assists). The small forward manages to produce even if he does not evolve with stars on the first line of the Chicago Blackhawks – Philip Kurashev et Andreas Athanasiou – while Patrick Kane is left out for “reasons relating to the management of training”. The key to Domi’s success is that he shoots the opposing net. In his last game Saturday, he scored 1-on-8 once morest the San Jose Sharks in a 4-3 shootout win and had 21 shots in his six-game point streak. Domi is second on the Blackhawks in shots (135) this season.

DeBrusk has also taken 17 shots, including five or more in two of his last three meetings.
