Last 10: Detroit 6-4-0; Chicago 5-5-0.

Season Series: This is the second of six meetings between the Central Division rivals. Chicago earned a 3-2 win against Detroit on Dec. 30 at the United Center.

Big Story: Chicago received some good news Saturday as it activated defenseman Steve Montador off injured reserve. The 32-year-old leads all Blackhawks defensemen with 5 goals -- 2 via the power play. He has 10 points (5 goals, 5 assists) and a plus-1 rating in 38 games this season.

Montador had been out since suffering an upper-body injury against these Wings on Dec. 30 -- a span of three games.

"Monty's probably coming back," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville admitted to reporters Friday.
