Happy teams are all alike, you might say, but Pacific Division teams are all unhappy in their own way.

Since the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks met in the postseason last spring, they have been heading in the opposite direction.

The race to finish first in the Pacific Division is heating up. As it stands, the Vegas Golden Knights hold onto first in the Pacific Division thanks to a 29-12-3 record with 61 points.

The Pacific Division is a three-horse race. Of the eight teams in the Pacific Division, only the Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Kings, and Edmonton Oilers have a chance at finishing with home ice for at least the first two rounds.

Zach Werenski’s assist on Fantilli’s goal extended his home point streak to 18 games, tying Brian Leetch for the sixth-longest streak by a defenseman. The NHL record is held by Bobby Orr, who recorded points in 25 consecutive home games during the 1974-75 season.

The road team has won four of the last five meetings, as the Kings look to make it five of six while bringing an end to a two-game skid during this road trip.

BOTTOM LINE: The Chicago Blackhawks will try to break their four-game losing streak when they play the Vegas Golden Knights. Chicago has a 14-28-3 record overall and a 9-13-0 record on its home ice. The Blackhawks are 3-7-2 in one-goal games.
