Blackhawks vs. Philadelphia Flyers at United Center, 7 p.m.

TV: NBCSN

Radio: WGN 720-AM

The skinny: The Flyers are 6-6-0 and own impressive wins over Toronto, Washington and Anaheim, but they also lost to Arizona (1-10-1) in overtime on Monday. Philly did come back from a 3-0 deficit but managed just 3 shots on goal in the first period. "We made a great push to tie the game up, but you have to rewind to the start of the game," Flyers coach Dave Hakstol told reporters. "As a group, we were too far below the bar. We weren't quick and hard defending." ... Jakub Voracek (2G, 14A) is the Flyers' leading scorer. Sean Couturier has 9 goals, with 8 in the past eight games. The seven-year veteran needs 7 more for a career high. ... Corey Crawford starts in net for the Blackhawks.

Next: Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center, 7 p.m. Saturday
