The Chicago Blackhawks will host their division rival St. Louis Blues tonight, just days after forward Anton Frondell scored two goals in a 7-2 defeat against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Why it matters

The Blackhawks have struggled to find consistency this season and are looking to get back on track against a tough Blues team that has had their number in recent matchups.

The details

Frondell's two-goal performance was a rare bright spot for the Blackhawks, who were thoroughly outmatched by the Hurricanes. The team will need more offensive production from Frondell and the rest of the roster if they hope to upset the Blues, who have won 4 of the last 5 meetings between the two clubs.

What they’re saying

“We need to play with more intensity and focus if we want to beat a team like the Blues. Frondell showed what we're capable of, now the rest of the guys need to step up.”

— Jonathan Toews, Blackhawks Captain

What’s next

The Blackhawks will look to even the season series against the Blues, who currently hold a 3-1 advantage. A win would be a much-needed confidence boost for the struggling Chicago squad.

The takeaway

The Blackhawks' matchup with the Blues represents an opportunity for the team to turn their season around and build momentum heading into the final stretch. Frondell's recent performance shows the team's potential, but they'll need a complete effort to take down their division rivals.
