THREE OPPONENTS TO WATCH
C Steven Stamkos: The 27-year-old Tampa Bay captain paces the league with 35 points this season (10G, 25A), including five three-point games, which shares the NHL lead. He has failed to tally a point in just three of his 20 games this season. Stamkos was limited to 17 games last season due to injury.
RW Nikita Kucherov: The Maykop, Russia, native leads the NHL with 17 goals. In his last eight games, Kucherov has posted points in six contests, including five multi-point outings. In two meetings with Chicago last season, he shared the team lead with three points (1G, 2A).
G Andrei Vasilevskiy: Last season, Vasilevskiy posted career bests in games played (50), wins (23) and shutouts (2). His 14 wins this season lead all NHL goaltenders, and his .928 save percentage shares third among netminders with at least 10 games played. Before Saturday's loss to the Islanders, he had posted 13 straight wins.
