Statistics through Thursday.
Storyline: Rivals’ season finale carries playoff implications, as Blackhawks regulation victory allows them to leapfrog Red Wings into fifth seed in Western Conference. Anything else and it’s No. 6 for Hawks, who have dominated season series but will be without Jonathan Toews, Dave Bolland and Andrew Brunette. Wings, meanwhile, are scuffling to end, just 4-4-2 in last 10 games.
