Chicago's scoring is trending upward, while New York has struggled to score against some below-average teams in the conference. One of those matches was a shutout loss at home to Montréal, who hold the worst record in the Eastern Conference. New York has the edge defensively, but their offense has been inconsistent. Lately, Chicago has been performing well on both sides of the ball.
