Blackhawks lineup today: Chicago's projected lineup for game against Ottawa Senators

Tonight, the Chicago Blackhawks will look to make it three in a row when they host the Ottawa Senators at United Center. After picking up a big win over Anaheim on Saturday and another win over LA on Monday, Chicago has a chance to tie its longest winning streak of the season with a win tonight.

Across from them on the ice, however, will be a hungry Ottawa Senators team eager to get back in the win column after a 5-4 loss to the Capitals this week.

Heading into tonight's game, the Blackhawks are still sitting at the bottom of the Central Division, with their hopes of a postseason run essentially nonexistent. On the flip side, the Senators are sitting in fifth place in the Atlantic Division, just one point behind the Red Wings.

With just one point separating them from a wild-card spot in the playoffs, the Senators will be looking to pick up a win tonight in hopes of moving into wild-card contention.

Ahead of the game, let's look at Chicago's projected lines:
