The Anaheim Ducks and the Chicago Blackhawks are tied at 1-1 in this Western Conference finals series as they'll take the ice at United Center tonight. Chicago won a marathon-match in the third overtime period 3-2 Tuesday, and I expect another tight contest here where the visitors may very well record an upset.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - Fredrik Andersen stopped 53 of 56 shots Tuesday and has been rock-solid throughout the playoffs, holding opponents to two goals or less in all but three of his 11 starts. While Corey Crawford outshone him in the most recent match-up with 60 saves, he's not been as reliable in the post-season and conceded nine goals in the first two games at Nashville alone. Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf will keep crashing the net, and I have a feeling Crawford might be due for a stinker sooner rather than later.

2. Road Warriors - Chicago is the only team who is undefeated on home-ice in the playoffs after the win at the Duck Pond Tuesday, but how long will that last? Anaheim has won seven of its last eight away from home and four of the last five meetings at United Center.

3. X-Factor - Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf are both among the top six for points in the playoffs and Getzlaf is post-season best with his 12 assists.

Selection: This is a play on the Anaheim Ducks +1.5 (5*)
