Up next for the Blackhawks is the No. 1 seed Las Vegas Golden Knights who won their round robin to earn the top seed with 16 teams left.

Chicago will face a familiar foe in goaltender Robin Lehner who they traded away mid-season to Las Vegas for a second-round pick. They have the chance to take down Lehner and the Golden Knights to continue their already impressive run in this Stanley Cup Playoff.
The two teams met three times this season splitting all three at 1-1-1 including a Golden Knights shootout victory in Chicago.
