Two NHL Western Conference foes meet on Friday at the United Center when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Vancouver Canucks, who complete a back-to-back set.

The Canucks will find themselves in a tough spot as they face an intense affair for a second consecutive night. The team begins a five-game road trip on Thursday in Dallas and will rack up a lot of air miles until the end of next week. This is bound to affect the team's performance.

The Blackhawks are fresh back from a trip to St. Louis and will be in very high spirits. Led by Connor Bedard, Chicago picked up an impressive 8-3 road win against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. After starting the season with three consecutive losses, the Blackhawks have won back-to-back games and should fancy their chances against a tired team.

Following a couple of really rough seasons, Chicago appears to be making very good progress and has been a tough nut to crack for all opponents so far. Adding two points to their tally on Friday would show further improvement, since last season it wasn't until December that the team recorded a three-game winning streak, which turned out to be its only one of the campaign.

Our Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

The Canucks have yet to kick into gear at the start of the season, and they may struggle to break down a Blackhawks team that is currently riding positive momentum. After beginning the campaign with a big 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, the Canucks have struggled to score goals, and fatigue might further hinder their performance on Friday night.

Chicago holds a losing record, going 2-2-1 in five games, but they haven't been pushovers in any contest and should be eager to prove their quality once again. So far this season, only the Boston Bruins have managed to score more than three goals against the Blackhawks, and they needed overtime to achieve that.

Our prediction for Chicago Blackhawks vs. Vancouver Canucks: Canucks under 3.5 goals.
