It would be no upset if #6 Chicago defeated #3 Phoenix. The Hawks are the better team, but they are missing their best player in Jonathan Toews. Meanwhile Phoenix has the better goalie, and play the perfect defensive game for playoffs success.
I do not have a great feel for this series, so I will go with the Blackhawks. They have found their game late in the season. If Corey Crawford can provide solid goaltending, and especially if Jonathan Toews can come back, the Hawks should be able to get the job done against the Coyotes.
And I say that with absolutely no certainty. This is one series that will probably be overlooked but will provide a dramatic narrative.
Here's the statistical breakdown. Click on the stats for larger imagery:
