Morning Bag Skate: Duncan Keith delivers late win for Blackhawks over Blues

Duncan Keith scored with only 8.5 seconds left to lift the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday at Scottrade Center. The two teams will meet again in Chicago’s home finale Friday.

With the win, Chicago moved up one spot in the league standings to 23rd at 76 points. The Hawks hold a 5 percent odds at landing the No. 1 draft pick this year.

Chicago slid down to 24th place in the league standings at 74 points after the New York Islanders’ win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. The Hawks hold a 6 percent odds at the No. 1 draft pick this year. They can finish no better than 23rd since Carolina and the New York Rangers have 81 and 77 points, respectively.

All four teams that could impact the Hawks’ lottery odds will be in action Thursday. The Rangers and Islanders (76 points) meet in The Battle of New York, while Edmonton (74 points) hosts Pacific Division winners Vegas and Detroit (72 points) welcomes lowly Montreal (69 points).
