NHL FREE PICK: Take the UNDER. According to latest NHL trends, Phoenix is 1-5-3 Under last 9 overall and 5-17-1 Under last 23 meetings in Chicago. Blackhawks are 1-6-2 Under last 9 vs. Pacific. Chicago needs this win after losing at home in overtime on Tuesday night, 3-2. To make it worse, leading scorer Marian Hossa will not be in the lineup and was briefly hospitalized by a brutal shoulder-to-head hit from Phoenix’s Raffi Torres, who on Wednesday was suspended indefinitely pending a league hearing Friday. Hossa led the team with 48 assists so Chicago will need to win a low-scoring affair without their best player. They’ll also need great goaltending from Corey Crawford.
