Put the Caps and Blackhawks on the ML and it nets you even money....

I already have previewed the Caps in another post... but here is what I see as an advantage with the Hawks...

[I][B]The task for Atlanta now becomes seizing its recent momentum and taking a run at the postseason. This won't be easy against the Hawks, particularly if [/B][/I][URL="http://thrashers.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8460704"][COLOR=#660000][I][B]Johan Hedberg[/B][/I][/COLOR][/URL][I][B] is allowed to rest. While the netminder has only lost once in regulation in his last seven starts, he may sit with the Thrashers playing consecutive nights.

The Blues have played 11 of those sets as of Feb 9.

[EMAIL="kkuc@tribune.com"][/EMAIL]The Blackhawks have traded Cam Barker to the Wild for fellow defensemen Kim Johnsson and prospect Nick Leddy, the team confirmed Friday.
The deal was completed Friday shortly before the Olympic roster freeze. Barker was the Hawks' top pick (3rd overall) in the 2004 entry draft but has been slow to develop into a top defenseman. The 25-year-old had four goals and 10 assists and was a plus-7 in 51 games this season.
The move helps...
