The Blackhawks are at the bottom of the Central Division at 16-31-5, the second-worst mark in the Western Conference. Edmonton is in a much better spot as it holds the lead in the Pacific Division and is looking to complete a sweep on a back-to-back that started with a 3-2 overtime win over the Blues in St. Louis to get to 33-16-4.

For the Blackhawks, a matchup with the Oilers can hopefully provide a blueprint. They've done the easy part: losing a bunch of games and drafting their new face of the franchise. Now comes the hard part: turning that into wins. It took the Oilers a long time, but they got there. How can Chicago get there?
