<span style="font-size:14px;">10 FACTS EVERY BLACKHAWKS FAN SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GAME SEVEN</span></p>

<span style="font-size:14px;">LINE MATCHING RED WINGS</span> —</p>
<ul class="bbcol decimal bbc">[*]Johan Franzen, Pavel Datsyuk, Justin Abdelkader have two goals, three assists, and a minus-1 rating in the series.
[*]Henrik Zetterberg, Valtteri Filppula, Dan Cleary have three goals, six assists, and a minus-1 rating in the series.

<span style="font-size:14px;">D TO D</span>
BLACKHAWKS — Duncan Keith leads the defense with four assists, while Johnny Oduya is the only Blackhawks defenseman to score a goal in the series. The Chicago defense has contributed one goal, eight assists and a paltry minus-8 rating so far in the series. However, the defense has come close to matching the Red Wings physicality with 49 hits and 37 blocked shots, mostly thanks to Brent Seabrook and his series-leading 22 hits. The stat that is the most telling, however, is the defensive core's giveaway/takeaway ratio, which clocks in at 19/13.
RED WINGS — Brendan Smith and Jakub Kindl lead the defense with one goal and two assists apiece. The Red Wings defense has contributed two goals, seven assists, and a triumphant plus-8 rating compared to the Blackhawks defensive core. Their physical play is comparable to the Blackhawks, with 50 hits and 42 blocked shots. The biggest difference comes with their giveaway/takeaway ratio, where the Red Wing's defense seems to be turning the puck over at an alarming 24/5 rate.
<span style="font-size:14px;">GOALTENDING DUEL</span> —
Corey Crawford has given Chicago a solid opportunity every game with a solid .924 save percentage and 2.18 goals against average in this series. Crawford has been unbelievable on the penalty-kill, making 62 saves on 63 shots (.984) in the postseason. This year he has a 0-1 postseason record in overtime.
Jimmy Howard has been equally up to the task for the Red Wings in this series, compiling a .936 save percentage and 2.18 goals against average. He has been fairly solid on the penalty-kill, clocking in at a .836 save percentage. He faced a penalty shot in game six, his only one of the postseason, and let it in. This year he has a 3-1 postseason record in overtime.
