| | | CHICAGO: LAST SEASON: 46-21-15, 107 points. Finished third in Central Division, lost to Los Angeles Kings in Western Conference final.
COACH: Joel Quenneville, 7th season with the Blackhawks, 268-127-59; 18th in the NHL, 706-410-77-100.
ADDED: C Brad Richards, G Michael Leighton.
LOST: LW Brandon Bollig, D Sheldon Brookbank.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Brandon Saad. The talented winger was terrific in the final part of the playoff series against the Kings, collecting three goals and four assists in the last four games. Playing on a line with Patrick Kane and newcomer Brad Richards, he could do even better than his career highs of 19 goals and 28 assists from last season.
OUTLOOK: It's Stanley Cup or bust for the loaded Blackhawks, who have no glaring weaknesses. They should be among the league's highest-scoring teams again this season, and Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith leads a solid group of defensemen. The Central could be hockey's toughest division, but the Blackhawks are a legitimate threat for their third NHL title in the last six seasons. | | ANAHEIM: LAST SEASON: 54-20-8, 116 points. Won Pacific Division. Lost to Los Angeles in second round of playoffs.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau, 4th season with Ducks, 111-55-22; 8th overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Ryan Kesler, C Nate Thompson, D Clayton Stoner, LW Dany Heatley.
LOST: G Jonas Hiller, RW Teemu Selanne, C Saku Koivu, C Nick Bonino, C Mathieu Perreault, C Daniel Winnik, D Luca Sbisa, D Stephane Robidas.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Devante Smith-Pelly. After bouncing between the NHL and the minors for three years, the speedy, tough-nosed right wing is poised to build on his breakthrough effort as Anaheim's top goal-scorer in the postseason. He's likely to get a chance to contribute on the deep Ducks' top three lines.
OUTLOOK: Kesler and Thompson make the Ducks tougher down the middle, and this deep, balanced club should be in position to contend for the Stanley Cup again. Anaheim is taking its biggest risk in net, hoping Frederik Andersen and prospect John Gibson are ready for full-time NHL duty. |

*Blackhawks-Ducks Preview* ==========================
By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer
Chicago (13-8-1) at Anaheim (14-4-5), 4:00 p.m. EDT
The annual circus trip has been a success so far for the Chicago Blackhawks, though their next stop on the 10-day trek will offer a more significant challenge.
The Blackhawks will try to improve to 4-1 on the six-game swing when they visit the Western Conference-leading Anaheim Ducks on Friday night.
With the circus in town every year at this time, the Blackhawks and their fellow United Center tenants, the Chicago Bulls, wind up on the road for nearly two weeks.
It isn't the most ideal situation for any club trying to keep pace in a competitive division, but Chicago (13-8-1) has been rolling since the trip began Nov. 20.
The Blackhawks had beaten Calgary and Edmonton before a 3-2 victory at Colorado on Wednesday. Jonathan Toews, Andrew Sharp and Brian Bickell scored, while Patrick Kane also pitched in with his first three-assist night since Dec. 8, 2013.
Two of the three goals came on the power play, making it six straight games in which Chicago has scored with the advantage after netting two in its previous five.
"We've been pleased and happy with it," coach Joel Quenneville said of his power-play unit, which ranks among league leaders with 19 goals. "Two big goals got the momentum back on our side. What a hockey game that was, anybody's hockey game."
The Blackhawks' lone loss on the swing came at Vancouver on Sunday.
The circus trip has proved successful for them in years past. They went 6-1 last season to improve to 22-11-4 since Toews and Kane entered the NHL in 2007.
"That was a really big win for us," said Corey Crawford, who made 27 saves for his 10th win. "After a tough loss in Vancouver, it was nice to get back on track.
"Hard fought win for us."
Crawford has started each of Chicago's last 12 games, going 7-5 with a 2.09 goals-against average. He is 7-4-1 against Anaheim in his career, but was not in net for their most recent meeting - a 1-0 road victory for the Ducks on Oct. 28.
Anaheim (14-5-5) and Montreal are tied for the league lead with 33 points after the Ducks picked up at least one in 11 of their past 12 contests.
They took care of Calgary 3-2 on Tuesday for their third straight win. Corey Perry got his 12th goal, while Matt Beleskey added his third in four games to go with an assist.
"I guess when you're hot, you're hot," Beleskey said.
Frederik Andersen has also enjoyed a recent hot spell, stopping 58 of 61 shots in his last two starts. Over his previous six, Andersen has helped Anaheim earn eight points through three one-goal games, two shootouts and just one regulation loss.
"The snowball starts getting bigger and bigger," said coach Bruce Boudreau to Anaheim's official site. "You start learning how to win a little bit better. Every game we play is close, so I was hoping we'd have a little bit of a breather in the last 10 minutes, but those things just don't happen. Hopefully it's a learning experience for us that, down the road, will pay off dividends."
Andersen did not play in Anaheim's most recent matchup with Chicago.
The Ducks have beaten Chicago in six of the last eight meetings and have held the Blackhawks scoreless on the power play over the previous three.
