Now in mid-season, Chicago maintains a rather impressive top spot in Joe McDonald's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Detroit falls just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Red Wings (15): "Despite its current place in the wild-card position, Detroit can quickly made its presence felt down the stretch. It seems like only a matter of time before the Red Wings turn it on."

Record: 32-20-11 (4th in Atlantic Division)

Blackhawks (3): "After being embarrassed by the Wild in the Stadium Series last weekend, the Blackhawks then lost to the Predators on Thursday. Fortunately for Chicago, it bounced back with an impressive win over the Capitals on Sunday."

Record: 39-20-5 (1st in Central Division).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels NBSC and TVA.
